>But this is nothing for the politicians to decide. Usage has got to >decide. So, start using your auxiliary languages, don't just talk >about them! I think you are right. Only usage can introduce a new language, and make it common in Europe or even the whole world. Politicians should be very carefull which such ideas. Sure, it would be a great political deed, if people in Europe would agree and introduce a new international language. This new language would be learned by all europeans and , of course, taught in schools and universities. I think this vision is unrealistic. I fear, that a new "artificiall" language, introduced by "euro-politicians" would cause very much euro-sceptizism or even anger. Politics must take care of the feelings of the population, and i think a new euro-language wouldn't be accepted. Even the introduction of a new currency for europe seems to be a big problem - not for the politicians - but for the population. Imagine the reactions that would be caused by the introduction of a new language! By the way I think that it would be a special "plus" of a future european society that we have to learn foreign languages and cultures, and make them our own languages and cultures. This, and not the introduction of a new artificiall language, should be the way of creating a new european identity. **Mr. Zenitram**
