Auxiliary Romlangs VS Artistic Romlangs



Bondí a toz,
Hello everyone,

While reading the last messages of this group, something just 
bothered me:
Why are there always "two clans": the auxiliary romlangs and the 
artistic romlangs. Both have disadvantages:

- Auxiliary romlangs are easy to learn, but they're always TOO easy, 
it's like taking people as idiots: the language "have to be" 
understandable by most of people. Can't they just learn its 
vocabulary as they make for any language? These are often "cold" 
languages, every one of them looks similar to the others (compare 
Interlingua with Novial or Lingua Franca Nova, they're quite 
similar). They have no real taste, no richness. Even Latin has taste!

- Artistic romlangs are quite beautiful or styled but can anyone 
learn them, except their creator? I'm often fed up with reading 
their hundred-page grammars and vocabularies. People making them 
often forget the fact that someone can be interested in learning 
them! I ask sometimes people about it and they just tell me they 
don't care about making people learn it.

I'm just between these two kinds. I want to make my language 
beautiful and I want to make people learn it... Am I the only one 
here in this group?

See you!
