>Conversing in this chosen language is probably going to require some level of innovation for awhile; I also think that, even though we may not have much opportunity to speak the language (as a related question, would there ever be a meet-up for this language community?), we should try writing "speech" forms, if they don't already exist in the language: filler-/pause-words, ways of calling one's attention, expressions of agreement, etc. Even some quicker form of writing pretty common words will likely arise at some time...<
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I agree...things like fillers, particles (such as: like, man, well etc, if they exist (which are typical in english), contractions, lenitions, mutations....all good ways of helping a sentence flow.
