| I like Ithkuil a lot, but i like its descendant Ilaksh even better. That has to be the coolest writing system (or scriptie) i have ever seen. I wonder just how much it would affect speed of thought? I guess we'll just have to wait for yssida to tell us. |

Genius! I think it's well thought out, but I wouldn't want to learn it.
I love that it lets you express so much so clearly in short sentences, but I also see limitation. It seems like it would be hard to have a joke, for example. Humor is based largely on timing, and would be hard to time a paragraph that was two or three sentences long.
Good luck with learning it, though!

Hallo! Well, I don't think I'm really qualified to give an opinion considering I'm stll in high school... I have yet to get my linguistics units yet in college!
Speed of thought? I wonder indeed...I guess it makes no diffeence at all. In my extreme and most honest opinion, I'd be inclined to think that all languages equivalent. If we'd have something less to start with, then human nature would intervene and create somehthing more expressive, if however it was something more than our brain could handle (perhaps a conlang) then I would say that again human nature intervenes (I don't know what I'm talking about, Eldin please chastise me!). Ilaksh is probably nowhere near that limit...yet. So I guess it is perfectly learnable, and expressive. However I would argue that since it grammtaticalizes nearly everything, the amount of parsing it would take would render the shorter expressions theoretically possible worthless, and as second language learners, we'd revert to more economical paradigms, one which taxes our brains less. One which requires less pre-processing and more "speak as you go" type, like the ones we are familiar and are accustomed to. But my opinion is very biased in that my L1 is rather isolating, not very different from English in many respects. I wish I could give you a more general statement though
