English translation:

Hello people,
Middelsprake (MS) is a constructed language based on the main living
Germanic languages. Its grammar is simple and regular which makes it easy
to learn. Middelsprake can be compared with Interlingua, the Latin/Romance
conlang in that for most speakers of a Germanic language, much of a MS
text will be understood readily without any previous learning. The modern
Germanic languages, apart from English, have about 170 million speakers.
For English speakers MS is also much easier to learn than say German,
Dutch or Swedish.
It has a regular orthography, only regular verbs, just one gender and one
grammatical case, regular plural and no umlaut.
You can find out more about the language's grammar, vocabulary, texts,
sound files etc. in the Files section, above left.
