An imaginary world would require an imaginary language, spoken by the inhabitants of that world. By this token, English, as spoken by all politicians, qualifies as an imaginary language in itself. Same for any other language you may think of.

Consider the case of all those emotional incompetents. Some learners achieve competence in restricted domains only, enabling them to use the new language mainly for specific purposes, and it is this kind of competence that Selinker refers to as ‘functional competence’. Whether those learners use language to lie and perpetuate inequity should also be of interest to linguists, were not because some of those linguists are emotionally incompetent themselves.

A pidgin is a language which has arisen by a process of mixing a simplified form of a language spoken by people who travelled and colonized extensively (such as English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch), with a simplified form of a language of the people with whom they interacted repeatedly. This would mean languages can be simplified. Do we need to wait for colonizers to come from outer space to simplify our unnecessarily complex languages?
