Talk:Lingua Franca Nova
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Conjugation Table: It seems really pointless to me. All verbs conjugate the same no matter whether it ends in "ar", "er", or "ir". Also, the conjugations are given in text above it.

Your thoughts?
I quite agree. I'm sure whoever put it there was well intentioned, but it gives the impression that lfn actually has three different classes of verbs and a full range of inflexions, which is, of course, not true. I removed it, but did separate the present/past/future sentences to make the simplicity more obvious.
I also removed the "our father" that seems to have been added by the same well-intentioned person. I don't think it is wise to compare lfn with esperanto or interlingua. It needs to stand on its own.

Why did you remove the our father?--Jondel 04:26, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
In the context of Wikipedia, it did not seem appropriate to present the language in any one particular religion. In the LFN wiki, there are a number of translations of texts, Old Testament, New Testament, Buddhist Sutras.... Anyone is welcome to add more in any religious tradition.

I removed the suggestions for the Greek alphabet. Because they are merely suggestions, they do not belong in an "official" overview of LFN.

Shouldn't the Greek alphabet suggestions still appear in this article? It is, after all, an encyclopedia. As long as it is clearly marked as a suggestion, and does not seem to be "set in stone."
