Bauer´s volapük



A review of "Spelin: A Universal Language" 

LOL. So this is "Spelin", a conlang (constructed language) proposed in 1889 by one Georg Bauer as an alternative to the goofy Volapük. Unfortunately, Bauer's pet project is just as weird as the gibberish it was supposed to replace! Here's a sample: "O dike zoe: ku i fako voe koin ep? Koe? i bayo pionoes. Nen, kiz i nen poti sopni us". You grok, Earthling? Essentially, Spelin was simply Bauer's version of Volapük. And sheer volapük, to boot.
