If you want that kind of language learn Esperanto. The problem is that it takes up much more space than English. You need more letters to express the same idea.

The above translated into E-min:

Dime mohaam: Kluen ex E-minimal ex. Pre traanono klaa (-tretoz) maam. Tru: Dibra krem praaz shaaen mopum luklaaz.
