HenryCanada does the whole thing where it has two official languages, which is cool & all but like
learning two languages seems like a mess, so what if we invented a new language that's so easy any citizen can learn it that we use for public announcements
toki pona is cool in that I can speak a language pretty intermediately after ~3-4 months of learning, but it's obviously not geared towards talking about political issues.
if this happens, we just change the problem from politicians being required to spend several years of their lives language learning to every single person who wants to engage with the government having to spend several months. I'm not sure how much better this idea is, and (as stated on the content warning) I have not fully developed this thought yet.
To be clear to Esperantists: Your language is too difficult for this use case go away
(like it'd be cool if everyone learned Esperanto, but what a time commitment that would be, eh?)
