From what I know of the Oriental family, for example, it is radically different in philosophy and structure. Oriental languages evolved to suit entirely different needs from ours. I think that if you tried a mix-in of Oriental and Indo-European, you would have a chaotic mess. -- Randwulf (Randy Haskins) genrad!mit-eddie!rh or... rh@mit-ee (via mit-mc)
