It counts approximately 50 fluent speakers in Africa, France and Polynesia mainly. The diffusion in the non occidental languages seems to be the priority of its promoters, obviously like an alternative to the English. So, there is a kind of logic not to use the English.

But who knows how the term will evolve. "Eclectic language" seems clear and cohesive to me, but some people want all their terms to either begin with "con-" (lang/world/script) or end with "-lang."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8943968451334631506.post-91851266603014147872007-12-28T23:37:00.000-06:002007-12-28T23:37:00.000-06:00Is a worldlang specifically a definition of an aux...Is a worldlang specifically a definition of an auxiliary language or can it generally be used for a language that borrows words and grammar from existing language.
