Haven’t heard of the third one, but the first two have glaring problems that prevent them from being truly international. Esperanto in particular is extremely Eurocentric
We will never be able to have a perfect international language but considering all of the difficulties involved in creating an international that people around the world could speak, sign language that “only” alienates a small percentage of the population would be a huge improvement over the current system
yeah I just kinda figure we would never agree on a spoken one but I think sign language is doable. Then also would be a huge boon for those who have to use it.
I still think we should agree on a universal sign language and then have every country teach it in school for all years of public school.
Have I got an xkcd for you!

We have, like, 3 of those: logban, Esperanto, and …lochebem?
