What's Special about Neo Patwa?

 

There are many proposals for international languages out there. What's special about Neo Patwa? There are three defining features. None of them are strictly original, but Neo Patwa brings them together in a unique way.

 

A Simple Phonology

 

Neo Patwa has an extremely simple phonology, which makes it easy for people of different language backgrounds to pronounce it.

 

A Simple and International Vocabulary

 

The words used in Neo Patwa are all taken from existing languages. So when you learn Neo Patwa, in fact you are learning words that are already in use by people from different cultures around the world.

 

A Simple Grammar

 

The grammar of Neo Patwa is in large measure taken from languages such as Tok Pisin, Bislama, and Singlish. What distinguish the grammars of these languages is that they are basically Western grammars adapted by non-Western people. They are international.
