<CENTER><FONT color=#000000>Dear Corpora colleagues, there is another language
which is of interest to me- Volapuk. It was based on English and German.
Therefore, I presume it must be typologically closer to the Germanic group of
the Indo-European language family. It must show different Euclidean distances
than Esperanto which turned out to be closer to the Romance group. I guess
Volapuk should not be considered an artificial language on the phonetic level
since it uses the sounds of English and German as they are. Could you send the
web-site addresses for Volapuk? Looking froward to hearing from you soon to <A
