A Lexicon of Interlingual
Homonyms
Ernest Samuel Llime -
2009-2011, Woodhaven
For this lexicon, I am
suspending the various inflection modifiers (umlauts, accents, etc.)
I am also
ignoring pronunciation variants - accents in different localities are VERY much
not the same.
Try for example to reconcile the French spoken in Haiti or
Louisiana with the French spoken in the Congo.
For the sake of simplicity, i
will lump dialects (like Patois, or Ladino) with their original roots.
English could also serve as a good example - chances are that an Englishman, an American, an
Irishman and an Australian might have a hard time carrying on a conversation.
Where necessary I might provide alternate spellings
