    Somebody who was aware of all this once invented a language that was supposed to fix all the problems. He called it Esperanto.

      Esperanto isn’t the only constructed language, and I think it is more Western-oriented, for good or ill. It does do a lot of things right within that framework, though, with certain rules that make everything explicit while removing other rules for structure that are no longer needed due to the explicit nature of the language.
