Art ( other constructed languages)

Europanto is a constructed language that is a mixture of the official languages ​​of the European Union and their structure is modeled on the English. The name is derived from the word Europe and the Greek root " πάντ - » ( pant = all ), with a conscious echo of the planned language Esperanto.

Europanto was invented by a working for the European Council in Brussels translator named Diego Marani. For Marani is " nothing sacred language, on the contrary, we should play with her. " In his own statement after Europanto was originally meant as a joke rather than a language rather than a "point of view, as we Europeans can we communicate and understand better." Marani had thought up during his tenure in the Council of Ministers for distraction for the company newspaper. Europanto was known as the Belgian weekly Le soir illustré published some of the humorous tales of Marani in 1997.

Europanto is a language mix of " 42 percent English, 38 percent French, 15 percent more EU languages ​​and 5 percent imagination ." There are no fixed rules for Europanto and no grammar, what is important is the creativity of the speaker. Enthusiastic supporters of Europanto example, make proposals for the creation of other such continental mixed languages ​​as Asiopanto for the Far East and Afropanto for Africa.

Europanto was not designed for the purpose of communication and is therefore unsuitable for that also; Written in the exchange can indeed be quite general information under experienced people spoke, but in explaining complex relationships and especially in the verbal realm, one quickly reaches its limits.
