I'm being completely honest here. To me, it would seem that a totally new language would be the best way to go.
The sentence structure should be similar to english, but all letters and words and pronunciation should be totally new and not exist in any current language.
Why?
Well, lately as I've been watching anime and whatever, I've quickly picked up on quite a few japanese words that I didn't know before. While obviously it's not enough to have a simple conversation (watching anime is possibly the stupidest way to learn japanese ever, I'm just using it for a reference) I definitely did pick up on words and stuff.
Oddly, I've found it somewhat easier to learn Japanese than spanish because although it has some words that have english roots, it's different enough that I essentially have to start over instead of translating a similar language to the one I'm fluent in. All of the characters are different, and there's really no way to mix up phrases or pronunciation with english because it's so different.
wow, I'm rambling here.
Basically what I'm saying is that when trying to learn spanish, it's a bit harder for me because my natural instinct is to use english pronunciation and sentence structure on spanish words which use the same alphabet and pronunciation sounds in a different way.
Japanese doesn't, so there's pretty much no way to confuse the two languages.
Which brings me to my original point that if we are to create a universal "Earth" language, it should be something totally different from every existing language in existence.
Though yeah, english sentence structure would be pretty cool even if everything else is different.
hey weaboo I dare you to go fuck up amerikans with shitty animations
I promise they wont bomb you afterwards
