From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Graeko-Latina is my idea of the best constructable Auxlang. However, some people will find stuff the don't like, so it will probably never really succeed, so I'm mostly doing this for fun.

I designed the phonology so Greek and Latin words will have a good Pan-European sound to them.
