Language Sources	It was inspired by Latin, Italian, French and Romanian.
Design Principles	The design is to make a language that's easy to pronounce and easy to write (using quasi-phonetic spelling that still preserves etymology) that can be understood by all speakers of Romance languages as well as Latin speakers.
