I had not heard of "D'ni" before and took a look at that one. I was enchanted to see that its alphabet is comprised of constanents and vowels.

I'll borrow a line from the Brazilian_dude here and say I don't know squat about this. But I'm guessing: the constanents are "stationary" sounds (and the vowels are...not?)...

What do you mean by "the consonants are stationary"? Like in Arabic, where you have roots as S_L_M (indicating a "basic meaning"), in which the _ can be filled out with a vowel/with vowels to produce actual words as SaLaM, iSLaM, ...?

I have heard that there are people who speak Esperanto as a native language. Can anyone confirm this?
