About la umente
this language is an artistic / auxiliary language mix since it's an auxiliary language used in a fictional universe (which is actually pretty much our world but in the future) so even though i'm trying to make it so it's not very difficult and there's international words i also want it to sound and look good and it's going to have words for things that don't exist in real life, it's not actually meant to be used in the real world (hence why it has a different writing system)
the name of the language translates to english as "human language" because it represents the union of humanity against a common enemy (humanity is on a war against some alien things in this universe) so that's why this language started getting used, it has nothing to do with how easy it is / isn't
i took a lot of inspiration from toki pona, and some inspiration from Dothraki and Korean, also since it's kind of an "IAL" most of the words will be based on English, Mandarin, Spanish, Hindustani, Arabic, Russian, Portuguese, Malay, Bengali and French (though most of them will probably get distorted beyond recognition) and the names of countries and such will usually be slightly modified versions of the toki pona words for them
and even though it's supposed to be in the future i'm still using the present versions of the languages as a reference, not evolved versions or anything like that since it's a relatively near future so the changes would't be that big i think
it's also worth noting that out of the ten languages i'm basing this conlang on, i only speak 2: english and spanish, for every other language i use google translate to know what the word is whenever i borrow a word from one of those languages, if you see a mistake please tell me so that i can fix it
