http://ia.wikipedia.com/ seems to have based its (single!) language link list on the English one - hence there is one language missing from it - English! I only came across interlingua for the first time yesterday. It's a fascinating concept, and I find that with my limited French (2 years of study 20 years ago) I can follow 75% of an interlingua text, even before studying its grammar.
Though I am french I have the same feeling, it really worths a look. I would like to hear feedback from non latin speaking people. I found the latin without accent a quite fun concept too : latin used to play the role of technical english in middle age. I'd rather be interested in simplified greek since I was an hellenist :P Listen to the paster noster in mp3 (<troll>should be ogg no?</troll>) http://www.wikipedia.com/upload/paternoster-ia.mp3
I am looking forward a breton (a celtic dialect), creols wikipedia, and other dialectish wikipedia.
Oh damn, I like this project and I wonder when will be the day africans open their own encyclopedias so that we can share their knowledge ?
Wikipedia is really a cool project !
