Spoke Devanese. Was pleasurable. Has made thread on speaking Devanese. Hopes to acquire fluency, if possible.

Interesting topic. Must say, this is a good feeling. No pronouns. Fun. Can't come up with good sentences to test with. Has sad.

Just used pronoun. Must not use pronouns. Not speaking correct Devanese.

Without speaking Devanese, I'll say something: YOU SAID THIS, AND THAT'S NOT IN DEVANESE!

If didn't, unvaried length awkward sentences. Possibly like previous sentence. Sounds bad. Don't care to be perfect Devanese speaker. Read linked xkcd topic.

Have been talking and thinking like this off and on for ages.  Didn't know that speech pattern was recognized as lingua franca.  Will consider in future.  Key things to remember are not all sentences need SVO (Subject-Object-Verb) setup.  Assume audience implicitly knows subject.  After that, assume listener of one.
