	http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/sky/julkaisut/SKY2006_1/1FK60.1. 5.LINDSTEDT.pdf They make a good point, and it is a nice language with thousands of native speakers, but the issue is if it will develop in a region or not. What are your thoughts? 1 person has voted this message useful

	No problem. That thread was quite old so I'm not surprised you didn't see it. I just happened to find it myself. 1 person has voted this message useful

	The second it becomes a natural language it will no longer be neutral (not that it is now). Also if it becomes a natural language it will become more complex. It will no longer be easy as native Esperanto speakers will not tolerate bad Esperanto. 1 person has voted this message useful
