I am putting Pandunia back in shape at last.

I took the liberty to redesign it again because the language was practically unused and therefore dead. That version of Pandunia, which has been used the most by other people besides me, was version 1, roughly in years 2018-2022. There could be many ...

The reason is that I am currently writing a book about auxiliary languages, where I tell about their history, successes and failures, and describe their structure in detail.
