English is mostly loanwords, very little is left of actual Anglo-Saxon. This is why English is so flexible and expressive. So I want to do something to contribute to the English language. I want to find foreign words and expressions that should added to English. If you know a foreign language and can think of something that is easier to say in that language than in English, let us add that to our lexicon. I want to make a list and spread it around. Spanish, Italian, French, and German already have added a lot to English, so we will skip those. Go straight for the exotic, send me words from Farsi, Japanese, Swahili, or other foreign tongues. Artificial language is are fine, too, whether it is Esperanto or Klingon. Just make it a meaningful and useful addition to English that will be easy for people raised in America to pronounce and remember...</p></blockquote><p></p>
