Hi all:<BR><BR>I think if there are people using this spelling, and there are pages online using it, then this registration request does meet requirements;<BR>
<BR>
both artificial or invented languages and natural languages are languages;<BR>
<BR>
I see nothing saying that we register natural languages only.<BR>
<BR>
If some members object, I hope their objections will be reasonable so that this process does not get to be arbitrary.<BR>
<BR>
Thanks.<BR>
<BR>
