       @lightning @yuki so how do you assess the quality of the fake Romance language? Or 1000 of them? If it is to be challenge it needs to deliver the goods, right?

       @zephyrleifrenner@mastodon.social @lightning@bv.umbrellix.org yeah, you know one of them, you know them all, more or lessyou'll probably end up with a "what if vulgar Latin was still casually spoken today"

       @yuki @lightning now one could take the basic vocabulary of say Vulgar Latin and put the grammar of Babylonian on it, or something truly bizarre that nobody would appreciate.

       @zephyrleifrenner@mastodon.social @lightning@bv.umbrellix.org Arguably, the same might be spoken of Englishthey took a Germanic language and they dumped a ton of French vocabulary in there

       @yuki @lightning also, there are words, basic ones, in old English that can be broken down into descriptive units of meaning and translated using… Basque. People don’t much talk about that though.  Too strange I suppose.

       @yuki @lightning I’d wager that any programmatic interpolation of Icelandic and French would be hard pressed to deliver English in all its bizarre glory.  English took a very different direction.

       @yuki @lightning English, Latin, the Romances, the Germanics, but especially English, these all have a habit of swallowing foreign words, place names, whole, with no expectation that a name fit the entity it hangs on. Another way to express the world makes everything in it have a descriptive name built up from particles.  Rebuild a romance in this fashion?
