LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

>>

Planning an artificial

common language

_THE European_ would be ideally suited

to promote a common language for

Europe. Let's call it Euro. The need for

a simple, common language is obvious.

Existing languages are too difficult to

learn and the dominance of one lan-

guage over another is considered a

threat to national identity and pride.

A planned artificial language is the

answer. Aware of all the failed

attempts by other artificial planned

languages (Ido, Volap{"u}k, Novial, Suma,

Occidental, Esperanto etc) and speak-

ing several European languages, I

would be delighted to work with other

linguists to create Euro. I can be con-

tacted by fax on (49) 89 280 2382.

Dr Karl Steiner

Munich, Germany

(La sama numero de "The European" havas sur la unua pa^go titolon

"VISUAL ESPERANTO Contemporary photos could be the fine art of the

future" kaj similan titolon sur la unua pa^go de la suplemento, sed la

artikolo mem ^sajne ne mencias Esperanton.)

Mi ^sajnas memori, ke mencioj pri Esperanto jam aperis en "The

European". Se iu memoras detalojn, skribu al mi, kaj mi resumos por

REBATO-L.
