    Talking Baseyu with Andiru- The Hot New Auxlang on the Block

    Andiru is a conlang enthusiast who took things the next step and created the auxiliary language Baseyu along with a dedicated community of enthusiasts. Auxiliary languages are designed to be small, simple and accessible enough for anybody to learn them as a new global common tongue- kind of like the Tower of Babel in reverse. You can check out the project here: https://baseyu.com Browse the dictionary: https://dictionary.baseyu.com/en Join the community on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Baseyu/ And request a discord invite there.

    Talking Toki Pona and Esperanto with Okan

    Okan learnt two of the most successful constructed languages- the sprawling, romantic Esperanto and cute minimalist Toki Pona. After covering the history of these languages we delve deeper into the dynamics of experimental language communities, the psychology of conlangers, and the potential interplay of culture, technology and experimental languages in the near future. Drop me a message on substack if you would like to reach out to Jan.
