Saluton @itchykitten. This is quite a piece of good lecture before going to bed. I have to come back. I like the idea of seeing language as not a tool. Just this evening I thought about it, as I was pondering why Esperanto never really succeded. Maybe because of that it was from the beginning a more or less complete tool, ready to be used to linguistically bridge different nations on earth. But on the other hand does a common auxilliary language need to be more than a tool? What do you think? By the way do you speak Tsėhésenėstsestȯtse?
