There is a lot of vocabulary common to most European and consequently 
American (both continents!) and Australian languages, not to mention the 
role of such languages in Asia. Comparatively large portionsw of Asia 
contain speakers of English, Russian and even to a lesser extent French 
and Portuguese.

So the best language would be one where the common vocabulary from these 
languages is present.

I can live with novial's "oldi" and "yuni".
The word "oldi" gives associations to "oud", "ålder" (age), "Alter" etc.

As for "yuni" perhaps this is easier to associate to than Interlinguas 
"juvene" which, as you know, gives "juventute" and we all know about 
"Juventus", but if we know that this means "youth" remains to be seen.  
But the Occidental and Novial "yun" is similar to Scandinavian "ung", 
Russian "junyj" and German "jung".

Theoritically it would be interesting to include some traits of Novial 
into Komunikando (my international idiolect). Preferably one should be 
able to present the forming of a vocabulary as a method description so 
thatanyone can recreate it using analogical sources to those I will have 
used.

Could one use the vocabularies of Esperanto, Ido and Occidental - as a 
shortcut?

One idea I have toyed with is using dictionaries of foreign languages 
for some European languages and include them if three languages are in 
agreament à la Interlingua.

And the most regular is not the closest. Distant languages like Swedish, 
Finnish and Russian often treat the loanwords in most European languages 
in a more regular way than if you just use the Romance languages as 
sources. A rather funny example of this is "crocodile" ar "Algerian" 
which can yield quite astounding forms if you use the Interlingua method!

If Novial has solved these "problems" I think there is no need to go on 
with the Komunikando work, but it is there as a rather intriguing task.

I would like to have the language systematic in such a way that I could 
produce questions and answers like:
Kvande tu venid?
Me (ego, ja, yo, io have your pick!) venid tande.
Kviklok sal vu veni?
Me sal veni 8klok.

Kvilok situa vui urbe?
Tilok situa mi urbe


I am less enthusiastic about "after"


Perhaps one could use "pos" or "post". Then one could have 
"ante-medidie" AM and "postmedidie" PM.

But I would be so impertinent that I would use "jurne" for "24 hours" 
and "die" as an antonym to "nokte"!

That is one of the misunderstandings you will find in some ethnic 
languages. Take Russian "sviter" for "sweater" (remember how you 
pronounce that!)

This is nothing to make too much fuss about. It's how languages work.

Specification of my auxlang. It should be able to teach any normally 
gifted speaker of any European language to speak and write simple Novial 
or Komunikando in a month, given you have one lesson every workday. (We 
use a five-day week).

Novial shows that we don't need any inflected verbs. "Me vole proba 
parla novial" or perhaps better "Me vole proba tu parla novial."

Question if if Europanto has nicked "sal" from Novial.

As for other tenses I am not sure how to do. I've got to think about that.
