I'm an English auxlang enthusiast whose strongest languages are English, French, and Esperanto. Others I know fairly well include Volapük, Idiom Neutral, and German. I've made the following pronoun-proposal for Folksprak (Mor14):
| Singular | Nominative | Oblique | Poss. adj. | Plural | Nominative | Oblique | Poss. adj. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | ik | mi | miin | 1st | vi | os/us | or/ur |
| 2nd | du | di | diin | 2nd | ji | ju | jer |
| 3rd m. | hi | him | his | ||||
| 3rd f. | si | hen | har/haar | 3rd | dee | dem | der |
| 3rd n. | et | it | its | ||||
| 3rd refl. | – | sig | siin | 3rd refl. | – | sig | siin |
In relation to the rest of the language, I support various things that others have already proposed, i.e. definite article de, indefinite (singular) article en; plural ending -e, genitive ending -s; adjectival comparison endings -er and -est; infinitive ending -en.
I did some work on a correlatives proposal (snapshot: vat, vem, vems, vilk, van, vaar, varfur, ho; dis, das, al, sum, ing), and I might tackle the conjunctions and prepositions too. Regarding the “old chestnut” of the past tense and the past/passive participle, my latest thinking is as follows: the past-tense ending should be -ed and the participle ending should be -t by default, -et after D/T, and -d after voiced consonants. (Or, if we aren't bothered about part-of-speech marking, we could use the same word in both places.)
