Archive-name: culture/esperanto/vega-languages/1991-06-20 Archive: rand.org:/pub/esperanto/other-tongues/languages.shar [192.5.14.33] Original-posting-by: urban%hercules@RAND.ORG (Michael Urban) Original-subject: Re: Volapu"k Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) Around the beginning of the year, Nick Nicholas and others produced translations of Suzanne Vega's song `Language' into a half dozen planned languages, including no fewer than two Volapuk translations. I believe that you can get these from the Planned Languages server, and you can FTP a TeX version from rand.org from the shell archive file pub/esperanto/other-tongues/languages.shar. One of the criticisms sometimes leveled at Esperanto is that it sometimes twists its source words beyond recognition. Volapuk was a past master at this. The name Volap"uk is derived from two ENGLISH words, `world-speak', vilely murdered and dragged from the grave in horribly mutated form. I will withhold comment on root-creation in Lojban and Loglan...
