Question: 1984!? George Orwell !?
What was George Orwell comparing newspeak to!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Newspeak wasn't being compared to anything; newspeak is a name for the way in which the english language has, and continues to, loose it's great variety and intracacy!. There are something like 900,000 words in the english language, and every day, more and more proper, meaningful words are replaced with "omgoshlolwut"!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

The genesis of Newspeak can be found in the constructed language Basic English, which Orwell promoted from 1942 to 1944 before emphatically rejecting it in his essay "Politics and the English Language"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is possibly partially based on Esperanto, exploring the totalitarian ruination of a language!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
