	<header>Basic Points</header>
	<p>Folksprak shall be constructed as a language that is:</p>
	<ol>
		<li>Intelligible with little or no training to Germanic speakers</li>
		<li>Simple enough for ease of learning to write or speak about normal topics</li>
		<li>Precise enough to deal with more complex topics (e.g. science, maybe philosophy)</li>
	</ol>
	<p>where the importance descends from first to last.</p>
	<p>During the attempt to find solutions for different grammar features such that they fulfil these goals, often the solution seemed to be what is called <span class="buzzword">KISS</span> in software technology (however orignally coined by the U.S. Navy), short for <span class="slogan">"keep it simple, stupid!"</span>, i.e. to desist from complexity unless it is truly necessary. Therefore many of the grammar features specified in this draft appear to be shaped more plainly than in most of the natural Germanic languages. For example the grammatical genders are planned to emerge only rudimentary in Folksprak, since they don't implement a crucial purpose in any natural Germanic language. The comparison between existing languages (not only Germanic ones) can reveal easy ways to solve certain issues, which seem to be problematic at first sight, but occasionally turn out to be a non-issue at second sight. However the opposite case does not occur seldomly. That's why for certain questions pleasing answers are yet to be found.</p>
	<p>The language specified in the draft at hand can be classified as language with a half isolating and half agglutinating morphology. It has a <span class="buzzword">a-posteriori</span> vocabulary (with some minor exceptions), i.e. its words are taken/derived from existing languages, vid. mainly the natural Germanic ones.</p>
