-===== What is Folksprak? =====
-//Folksprak// is the name of a project that aims to construct an inter-Germanic zonal auxlang, which means a language that can be easily understood by any speaker of a Germanic language (a group numbering over 465 million native speakers with an additional 300 to 900 million speaking English as a second language) without ever having learned it. You don't believe that's possible? Here's an example: If you are a (native) speaker of English, German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, Afrikaans, Yiddish or some other Germanic language (see a [[wp>List_of_Germanic_languages|complete list]]) there's a great chance that you will know what a sentence like //„Ik hav skrivt en buk“// is supposed to mean.
-Folksprak is not meant to be designed by any one individual, but is a collective work created by all interested parties; so you're welcome to participate.

-===== Why another damn Wiki? =====
+# What is Folksprak?
-Good question! But the answer is quite simple: Other than the two already existing Wikis and most other resources this one is not about a specific dialect of Folksprak. Instead it intends to gather and structure ideas, considerations and all the different proposals for an inter-Germanic auxlang, in order to compare them and to name their advantages and disadvantages. The hope is that this leads to a solid base for making rational and fair decisions about specific parts of the language so that in the end there should be a conclusion, that most parties can agree with. Maybe a little bit naive, but i think it is worth giving it a try.
-===== Goals of the project =====
+_Folksprak_ is the name of a project that aims to construct an inter-Germanic zonal auxlang, a language that can be easily understood by any speaker of a Germanic language (a group numbering over 465 million native speakers with an additional 300 to 900 million speaking English as a second language) without ever having learned it. You don't believe that's possible? Here's an example: if you are a (native) speaker of English, German, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Icelandic, Afrikaans, Yiddish or some other Germanic language (see a [complete list](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Germanic_languages)) there's a great chance that you will know what a sentence like _„Ek hav skrivt en buk“_ is supposed to mean.
-Folksprak shall be constructed as a language, which is
-  - intelligible with little or no training for any germanic speakers
-  - simple enough for ease of learning to write or speak about normal topics
-  - precise enough to deal with more complex topics (e.g. science, maybe philosophy)
-where the importance descends from first to last
