The first question to ask is what is the purpose of a universal written
language:
1.� For translating from one language to another.
2.� A common language for all users to communicate with each other.
3.� Machine processing.

Each of these have their own requirements.� Machine processing may be
something as simple as sorting text (which is done now and has been
simplified using unicode) or as complex as translating from one natural
language to another.� In this latter case, the number of combinations, i.e.
English to French, French to German, etc. is large and in one case has been
simplified by using Esperanto as an intermediary step, i.e. English to
Esperanto, Esp. to German, French, etc.� However, this procedure only
reduces the number of dictionaries required but not the grammars.
In designing Windows applications using icons and other graphical symbols,
it turns out that what works for English-based languages doesn't� work for
Asian-based languages.� So using ideograms has its drawbacks also.
I think that what is required is a pidgin-computerese that everyone uses on
the net,� sorts well,� has no� accent marks, no vowel nor constanant
combinations, and is not designed to be spoken (although there is nothing to
prevent that).� The language would inflected (like German or Latin) but
word� position would be immaterial.� Anybody could add new words by
publishing them and they would be accepted by general usage, i.e. if nobody
used a word, it would be dropped.
This type of lingua-franca has been used many times in the commercial world
when diverse native speakers had to communicate.
