@yurnidiot@mstdn.social Can we just pick a random language from a list, and use that as our Lingua Franca? I'm convinced that literally anything is better than English!
(no, not you Danish)

@matias@nattomaki.social We can do much better than picking a random one. We'd want a common second language to • be easy to learn & teach • be easy and natural to use • be feasible to master • be practical and expressive • not be bound to any nation, country or ethnicity or any small set thereof • have learning and teaching materials for many languages • already have a critical-size number of users to be at least self-sustaining (so that it won't die out while we get ready to teach it to everyone) @yurnidiot@mstdn.social
