And you lost me. Irregular pluralization at the very core of the language does not smack of a the ideal neutral language, whether it is shared by Germanic and Romance languages or not.
mathematics or cartoons work great for communicating ideas to people who don't speak the same language you do.
essentially, all languages are made up. we therefore need to focus more on universal languages that are the same everywhere. mathematics are one example, but surprisingly, so are comics. many of the emotions displayed there are widespread and close to universal.
