Esperulo

Background
Esperulo is an Esperanto reform I created. I'm too lazy to make my own IAL so I just changed Esperanto. Esperulo is just for fun and has no real practical purpose. It could work as an IAL, but it's just an attempt to make Esperanto simpler and less exclusive of non-European languages.

Consonants
These consonants are almost guaranteed to be fully comparable with any language in the top 100 most spoken languages of any list (with some flexibility). Some of these phonemes only occur in these top 100 languages as rare sounds occurring only in loanwords, but I decided that was not a problem, as in Hebrew speakers, for example, have no trouble pronouncing the sounds /w/, /ʒ/, or /dʒ/, which only occur in very rare loanwords.

The stops /p/, /t/, and /k/ should be aspirated, but if this is completely unnatural for a speaker, it is optional, but not preferred. For Mandarin Chinese speakers, the voiced stops can be unvoiced, unaspirated stops, and the unvoiced stops have to then be aspirated. /p/ can be pronounced as /f/ if need be, /g/ can be pronounced as /dʒ/, /v/ as /w/, /ʃ/ as /z/, /tʃ/, or /ts/, and the rhotic as whatever is most comfortable for the speaker.

Vowels
/i/ can be pronounced as /ɪ/ if need be, /e/ can be pronounced as /ɛ/, /a/ as /æ/, /ɑ/, or /ɒ/, /u/ as /ʊ/ or /ə/, /o/ as /ɔ/, and all vowels can be rounded or unrounded as needed.

Nouns
Nouns are also inherently indefinite and end in -o or a consonant. Definiteness (which also fills in for the determiners this and that) is marked by adding the article ta before the noun. Or, if the noun begins in a vowel, ta may be shortened to ''t'. Singularity is marked with un'' before the noun. Plurality is marked with the article mun or muna preceding the noun.The Accusative case (ending in -n) is completely optional. All noun forms outside of the indefinite, ending in -o (or a consonant), are optional.

Adjectives
Adjectives end in -a. Adverbs end in ''-e. ''They are not used as much as in English, but they are there if needed.

Verbs
The main verb form suffixes are -i which is a tenseless (indefinite), and mostly serves as a sort of infinitive, and -u, which is specifically present tense. To make past tense, the word sa (can be shortened to s' if the verb begins with a vowel) is added before the verb, ending in -u, and to make future tense, add the word ki before the verb (may be shortened to k' if the verb begins with a vowel), also ending in -u.

Stress
Putting stress on the vowel before the last consonant is recommended, but by no means required.
