I created a fake language designed to get rid of Victorianism by combining morphologically words from only indigenous languages. https://www.indlang.com

This is beautiful I can't believe I've never heard of this. Bravo! Hats off to you!

Is it possible to learn this from the site alone? I'll browse more myself and may figure this out before you reply but hey it would be cool to learn some of this.

Thanks. It's a lone work I started doing by myself a few years back. Finally some actual nahuatl indios in Mexico started helping me do it. It's not too popular amongst created languages, because I am negative to LGBT and reject European languages, as I saw how LGBT ruled Esperanto communities, so I intentionally put transgenders and such off. They banned from several language-creation groups. THey want a latin language to be the international.

Okay, you've peaked my interest. I have some Esperanto books from way back, like I have Anne Frank's Diary and some old educational comics from the seventies. I have no involvement with any Esperanto community, however, so I had no idea about any Esperanto and the (is this a good way of phrasing it?) Pomo queer community (so like including QT+). I've never heard this before, I had no idea this was a thing. I don't hate Esperanto, but never delved into it much. I already know some Romance languages, so with a dictionary I can practically read it already. Anyway, this is really interesting. Is there a community, however small, of people who have learned Indio?

I have indigenous ancestry but it has been, well, suppressed in my family I guess is the best way to say it (my country is one of many that committed cultural genocide big time and in fact in the small town I used to live in the local Nation's language had one living speaker left, just one!). Learning more about indigenous vocabulary, even if it isn't all from where I'm from, would be nice I think.

Would you be open to having a language learning course based on Indio created on a language learning app? Sorry for inundating you with questions, haha.

Thank you for your interest in Indio. I did make a Memrise course in Indio, but after I encountered some Nahuatl speakers who wanted to alter Indio, some of my old translations and the Memrise course became outdated. I should probably take it off Memrise. The spelling and such changed from the time period I made it. The Nahuatl speakers wanted me to get rid of the letters F and V from alphabet, because Nahuatl doesnt have them. As well, Navajo doesnt have fricatives, and many other languages like Korean lack them. Koreans turn f's into p's. So that's what I did.

I learned about Esperanto from reading library books, stalin's autobiography, then I learned it, and ordered a lot of books from Esperanto-USA website translated in Esperanto and picked through them. But the people who speak this Esperanto language are nearly always incredibly lame. Many of the speakers online learned about the language via the internet rather than personal library reading, and so they seem stupid, say dumb stuff, and support al the trendy causes like transgender. I really felt so disgusted with these people. Frankly, I can read Spanish and the availablity of books in Spanish make it much more appealing. In fact, I mostly only read Spanish books now, as English now seems extremely boring.

I've been updating this course. I fixed the alphabet issues.

Well, I will keep a look out for anything 'indio' on memories or the site you created because it's really interesting! Thanks for replying, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner I don't go on this site very often.
