The significance of Folklore

In all our languages, we have folklore - nursery rhymes, old poems and the such. We need them. We can't really have an insight to our own languages without them. This is why Esperanto is so ****ing stupid!

Oui, je suis d'accord. Les langues du monde doivent etre des langues vieux.

Ja, das glaube ich auch. Weltsprachen mussen alte Sprache sein.

Yes, I agree. World languages must be old languages.

Why are you all copying each other? People always do this here. It's really annoying.

I agree with your point about Folklore - however these international auxiliary languages are intended to be in between languages - not mother tongues, simply a common medium of communication.

"Yes, I agree. World languages must be old languages. "

That's just an old wives tale.

Especially since the timing between the posts and the nature of the names suggests that it's all the same person thinking that they are being oh-so-clever.....

So make some up. How do you think those things came into being in the first place.

Esperantish folklore can be created as well.

It's easy to manufacture fake culture and convince people it's real. Just go to the bEurocrats at the Commision for European Integration and ask for advice.
