I think that some of the most important considerations for a truly
viable international language are as follows:
1. The greatest ease of learning for the greatest number of people.
2. The most easily enunciated for the majority of the earths population.
3. An alphabet that is easily mechanically reproducible using currently
available hardware, I.E. keyboards, Typewriters etc.
4. A vocabulary that utilizes the most commonly used word roots, and
incorporates words, acronyms and expressions that are currently
internationally used/recognized.
5. The possibility of widespread acceptance and eventual adoption.
In the past I had very high hopes for Esperanto, however I now
believe it has one fatal flaw that will condemn it to
oblivion. That flaw is its Accented letters. The work around of
using X after the accented letter is disconcerting to say the least and to my
mind is not a viable fix.
I'm currently looking into Mondlango and am
at this point impressed with what I see, if it shows any potential of
really taking off I intend to adopt it wholeheartedly.
