@Alan Libert , I have to ask, as you're a linguistics lecturer: ¿qet pensetz-voi over ár glheþ naziunal?

[King Txec]

Azul and welcome to Talossa Alan!

[Alan Libert]

Thank you -- glad to be here! I could only understand some of your question, since I don't (yet?) know Talossan -- what do I think of the national ? One of my research specialties is artificial languages -- if you look me up on Google, etc., you can find some books which I have written on them. Regards, Alan

Welcome Alan, as a bookmark collector, what would you say is your most interesting item?

Interesting that you have written about Talossan but you didn't recognize one of the most famous words in it - glheþ (language)! So, I'll repeat my question: what's your take on it as a professional in this field?

[Alan Libert]

Actually I work on artificial languages, but I have not looked at Talossan -- I focus on auxiliary languages (Esperanto, Ido, Interlingua, Ardano, Babm, etc.). I will have a look at Talossan and let you know.

[Alan Libert]

About bookmarks -- it is hard to say, since I have thousands of them. I have a lot of nice ones from Turkey (I used to go there a lot because I do research on Turkish and related languages). I also used to collect business cards, and my favorite is one from North Korea.

That is very interesting! I'd be interesting in chatting on how you got the card from North Korea. I too am a collector of business cards. My favorite is one I received from the Ukrainian ambassador to Canada. I am delighted to meet another business card collector.

[Alan Libert]

About the North Korean business card -- I was at a stamp and/or coin show in Sydney, and there was a stand for, I think, North Korean coins, connected with their national mint I guess or some such thing. They had a business card, and so I took it. If I recall correctly, the guy there did not seem very friendly.

I have a small collection of DPRK propaganda. My favourite line from it was: "The musicians were all amazed at the Dear Leader Kim Jong Il's incredible talents at everything."

Azul es benveneschti, Alan! If I'm not mistaken we have a few Talossan Esperantists (to varying degrees of fluency, anyway)

Nice! No North Korean currency here, but among other things I do have a Soviet 3-kopek dated 1980.

[Alan Libert]

At one point I actually had a 3 volume biography of Kim Il Sung (I got it at a used bookstore in Montreal), but I did not keep it -- can't keep everything. However, I was able to find his autobiography or biography online. I don't think it would be very interesting reading.

It seems that we need to create some kind of Talossan bookmark or business card to add to your collection.

I could pitch a design.

[Breneir Tzaracomprada]

That would be fantastic!

This citizen has been eligible for petition for more than a week now, and their last login was December 6. @Alan Libert are you still interested in becoming a Talossan?

[Alan Libert]

I have done a paper on language on bookmarks, and I think a Talossan bookmark should be bilingual. Likewise business cards -- I have seen some cards with one language on each side (e.g. English and Japanese). I also collect transportation tokens, but I don't think they are needed for Talossa, but who knows?

[Alan Libert]

Yes, I am still interested in becoming a citizen. Sorry for the recent silence, I have been having some medical problems.

An interesting idea.
