I'd forgotten about this TL. Nice to see it's back around. Now, let's convince Leo to give this more thought...
 
I wonder what provision these or other artificial languages have for epithets, swear words and the like? How do they express the equivalents of
"Hey, jerk, outta my way before I knock you on your ass!" and
"Excuse me, sir, could I please get by you? I'm in a bit of a rush..." :D
 
Just went to wiki to read the article. I must say (being untrained) that Volapük has one disadvantage - it's hard to speak, i.e. the words somehow don't come out fluent, I can't get into the rhythm, or flow, of speaking. That's not good.

BTW: With all the umlauts and -k endings, the language reminds me of Hungarian.
