For Interlack they could just use Esperanto - it's not like it's used for anything else . Esperanto was actually designed as a language that was very regular in its grammar and verb patterns so would be an ideal language to use universally. Of course, mathematics is the easiest universal language to translate and initiate contact in.

I think a similar form of interlack was used in FS2's original campaign when you heard the english being played over the Vasudan speech when they replied.

It would be interesting to see if the mod's comm. messages for singleplayer could do the same thing. Anybody speak minbari?

Actually English is an easy language to learn to SPEAK (it only has 1 THE) but not to SPELL (for example TH sounding lu)

Saying that English is difficult to spell, just mention a couple of words like hiccough, gaol or weird.
