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.
