Q: What is Panamerican?

A: Panamerican (PA for short) is an constructed auxillary language. This means that it was created (constructed) instead of developing naturally, and that its primary goal is to be helpful (auxillary) for communication. Panamerican, as the name suggests, is designed to help people from across the American continent communicate, and as such takes influence from languages spoken in America, e.g. English, Spanish, French, and various indigenous languages. Panamerican also has a simple, yet nuanced grammar that makes it easier to learn, and a more consisten spelling than, say, English or French.

Q: Is Panamerican like Esperanto?

A: Yes! Esperanto and Panamerican are both auxillary languages with a largely Romance and Germanic substrate, and as such have many similarities. However, they differ in many ways. Panamerican lacks any significant influence from languages such as German, Italian, and Polish, which make up a great deal of Esperanto vocabulary, and has more influence from Spanish and Portuguese. Panamerican also has a more simple grammar.

Q: Why should I learn Panamerican?

A: Panamerican is a simple language, designed to be easy to acquire. Panamerican's large amount of vocabulary adapted from languages such as Spanish, French, and Portuguese may also prove helpful to further acquisition of its source languages.
