My aim is not the learn a spoken language and to use it for significant communication. e-minimal is interesting precisely because of its minimalistic and compositional nature. Building on 'primitives' founded in science.

I have an interest in computer linguistics and having a toy language exposes some of the difficulties of aquiring a language more clearly than a real natural language does.

I don't want to invest lots of days in learning a real language. E-minmal being small but sufficiently complete allowed me to get away with minimal effort.
