Is this what the whole Earth will be speaking in the year 2800 AD?

Funny. Even in a language so close to an existing natlang your hand is
unmistakable. All your conlangs have something in common, which makes them
recognisable as yours. I mean that as a compliment: style is what makes the

using (Ukrainian) -mo in the 1st person pl.
