I read "interlanguage" as a "world-wide international auxiliary language". I don't think such thing can happen at the moment because of many blocking extralinguistic factors, even though I personally has some criteria of my own wrt it. But an "Interromance"? Yes, it's highly possible to create a project for this purpose. Much more difficult to introduce, though. BTW, if I were creating an "Interromance" (once I indeed had an idea to start a "Mesoromanica" project), I would have preserved most of the idiosyncrasies the natural Romance langs have in common. | Padraic Respects, -- Yitzik
