If LangX begins as Lang25 with a restricted and limited phonology, vocabulary and grammar, won the result be a primitive and rudimentary language that few people will want to use?
The theory behind LangX is that the base level at any one time will be the official IAL, capable of being used and understood in any country, but that the progressively more differentiated and complex levels should by all means be used privately – on the understanding that all such attempts are unofficial, experimental, and very possibly subject to drastic modification at a later date. Thus Lang25 would be fixed, during the initial time period, with the six levels up to and including Lang53 progressively fluid as they were “beta tested” – with a particular focus on the next level Lang29. In this way an online dictionary might contain the core Lang25 vocabulary, but also six additional levels of vocabulary corresponding to Lang29 etc., of increasing provisionality. The different levels of words might be juxtaposed in the same dictionary, but colour-coded or otherwise differentiated. Similarly, cross-translation to as many languages a possible should focus on the base level (Lang25). Apa
