It is really stupid to show someone some text and let him decide what is better Maybe we should make some sound samples and make it easier.

If I actually had recording equipment, I would... And remember, the language will be used on the forum more than anything, so I doubt sound clips for pronunciation will have any need. It's not that stupid to show them sample texts if the main way they're going to be using the language is to be typing/writing it... As I keep saying, Craitish is a lot like English, so will be easier to learn for the massive English population here. I'm a bit confused by the "gentler" thing, but ah well...

Ok then, if it is about the closenes to english, the old apiyan is way more close to english than the new apiyan

Ok, so is old apiyan based on german languages and so is apiyan very loosely based on english. But for a difference we don't have ANY accents, stress-vise . Could I please see a grammar or a dictionary to craitish?

Could I please see a grammar or a dictionary to craitish? We haven't got a dictionary online at the moment, because I've not had the time, and because the few people who have any knowledge of it haven't been around for ages. And the dictionary I did have on my computer was lost when my harddrive died, still only got written copies. All the stuff on our forum can be found here... And even if the new Apiyan is closer to English than the old Apiyan (how, though? ), I can bet it's still not going to be as close as Craitish is to English. Did you also say you don't have any accents? Ø Ŕ Ŗ Ļ Æ Í... Not many In fact, the same amount as in Craitish, but 2 of ours are hardly ever used... Also, can you trust a man who changes his language on a whim? lol

Also, can you trust a man who changes his language on a whim? lol About the accents i said stress-wise . English has the sounds Æ, Í, Ø, Ŗ and Ļ in it. The only sounds it doesn't have are Ŕ and R. Ŕ is like a french or german "r" and R is like the spanish, harder R. But ... That is kinda true , but it is change to better ;D
