On a related topic, I once played around with an idea of Sino-English.
Using Chinese roots in place of Latinate and Greek roots. Like,
Anglo-Saxons somehow ending up in SE Asia. Unfortunately, I don't know
enough about Middle Chinese to do it justice. Still, it'd tend to make
far shorter erudite words, Chinese roots generally being monosyllabic ... :)
