About Bahasa
Bahasa is my final IAL. I have put it on hold indefinitely after being confronted with the racist and colonial effects of IALs and other auxiliary languages have on language diversity and death. I still believe it is my best IAL, and was definitely the most fun to make, but I no longer make global international auxiliary languages.
