Lingone; a new constructed language
Lingone is a constructed or artificial auxiliary language like Esperanto, that can be used for international communication.
Of course, untill now, constructed languages have not yet been regarded seriously as potential replacements for current dominant languages, especially English. English is currently so dominant that there must be clear advantages in any artificial substitute to be of interest. However, countries with sub-dominant languages (French, Spanish, Russian, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic to name some big ones) might want to adopt an artificial language to avoid dominance by an existing language. Actually, that might be a important reason why an artificial language would be adopted in some arena.
But there are also reasons of efficiency in language learning, reading and speaking that would favor a ‘conlang', provided it is an efficient one.
Lingone has -in my view- at least the potential to compete with English in efficiency, simpleness and power. It's (faint) relatedness to Esperanto and Ido might make it somewhat easy for the adherents of those languages to evaluate it. However a strong influence of English on grammar and word base makes it also much more ‘familiar' for English speaking people than Esperanto and Ido.
Allthough the language has been developped for over 98 % concerning it's grammar, vocabulary must still be expanded and updated.
