To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar,
pronunciation and more common words. If several languages coalesce, the
grammar of the resulting language is more simple and regular than that
of the individual languages. The new common language will be more simple
and regular than the existing European languages. It will be as simple
as Occidental; in fact, it will be Occidental. To an English person, it
will seem like simplified English, as a skeptical Cambridge friend of
mine told me what Occidental is. The European languages are members of
the same family. Their separate existence is a myth.
