Like net.nlang.india, I suggest that a net.nlang.espanol
be created. This group would be similar to net.nlang.india
in that all facets of life and culture could be explored
through this net. I refrain from suggesting net.nlang.latin
since other than having Latin as a distant ancestor, these
languages (and especially the people) have not much in
common. The following are descended from Latin: Romansque,
Italian, French, Catalan, Gallego, Romanian, Portuguese,
and Spanish (Castilian); and are still spoken today.
Truely these people cannot easily find a medium. Using,
hispanic would seem to exclude those from Spain. Using
the word spanish seems to imply Spain. Using espanol
(the Spanish word for Spanish), may be acceptable and may
accomodate both groups. Music, language, politics, cooking,
traditions and tv are among the many topics that this net
could entertain along with literature and art.
