What do we think are candidates for conlangs that could potentially dethrone Esperanto?

@beepbooper2 I'm purely speculating here but possibly toki pona (due to extremely easy learning) or maybe a yet to be created Chinese government promoted auxlang?

Are there minimum requirements for what you count as a conlang?

@june I'm open to alternative requirements, but some possibilities could be:

  • Sufficient vocabulary for it to be possible to distinctly and clearly refer to each of the concepts that have a word in Toki Pona (since that is already designed to have the minimum vocabulary size possible), while sharing <50% of vocabulary with a single existing natural language.

  • Majority vote in Manifold poll that it is one.

  • Long-lasting Wikipedia entry prominently and unambiguously describing it as one.
