Le ruinate lamina

Le ruinate lamina

Quando io ambulava al strata, 
Io videva un vagabundo folle,
Qui credeva in commatrages.
Ille voleva colpar su falce
In le cranio del victima,
Sed su stupiditate
Ruinava le lamina.

Al fin del ponte
Io incontrava un femina
Insan qui diceva a me:
Tu non trovara un tanto
Fatue persona del qual
Tu non poterea apprender
Alique utile.

      Thank you for commenting
      Interlingua is an Italic international auxiliary language (IAL), developed between 1937 and 1951 by the International Auxiliary Language Association (IALA). I added some information on Interlingua at the end of this article. The Finnish language is not even the member of the Indo-European family, but you’re very welcome to use it.

  7. Interesante propuesta lingüística que me recuerda al llamado “Esperanto” o Lingvo Internacia ¿Tienen relación u orígenes comunes? “Interlingua” parece provenir de la fusión de lenguas romances y comparte vocablos con el esperanto que, quizá, fue una “interlingua” posterior o menos arcaizante. Me gustaría saber diferencias y similitudes

      Grazie per il commento. Personalmente mi piace Interlingua perché è un ponte per tutte le lingue romanze. Mi aiuta anche a capire meglio l’inglese, che è fondamentalmente una lingua tedesca, ma ha preso molte parole dal latino.
      Avere una buona settimana 🙂

  12. Great poem! I know some Spanish, a tiny bit of Italian and Latin but I’ve never hear of Interlingua so this was a good way to learn something new.

  13. Anche a me sembra che quest’interlingua deriva dall’italiano, even if some words seem more Spanish. Many thanks for introducing it to me!:) Viele Grüsse du Tessin. Martina
