My studies as of late are delving more and more into language. Right now I'm learning Tibetan (beginner) Akkadian (intermediate) and French (high intermediate) as well as attempting to expand my knowledge of many other scripts. English itself seems to be moving towards a global language. Especially useful in trade and tourism.

I feel that although it has this stronghold over most of us in some way, it fails to overcome vast inconsistencies and has a plethora of problems with its grammar, pronunciation and dialectal differences. Esperanto was created for the sole purpose of becoming a universal language. It is spoken phonetically, and has a simplistic pronunciation structure to aid in reading the written word. I have not looked into Esperanto at all, so I'm endeavoring to do so now.

What I'd like to do here is expand on this idea of a Lingua Franca. Frankly, I don't care if we attempt to create a brand new language, or clean up a current one. What would be nice I feel would be to create a framework that any language can use so that it can be incorporated into our new language to enrich its diversity. Below are a few things I'd like to see at the heart of the system. Please feel free to add or reject ones as you see fit.

- musically and geometrically rhythmic
- causal loop and abstract space-time tenses
- better tense structure bringing in validity and source content
- structured body language/dance additions
- punctuation that will reflect body language for the written word
- a framework designed for a fully complex adaptive system
