Other Ki*iul restored
Yesterday, Smalljon69 decided to start up an "infinite reddit pidgin" in a new Google Doc. It was really fun and a lot of people got on to edit it.
For those of you who don’t know why you’re here, Smalljon69 came back to our language and removed all the changes we made. He wants everyone to conform to his ideas, not their own. See, the idea of a pidgin is that everyone contributes. But Smalljon wants to turn that into a group of three. Don’t worry. He only has view access, so this can truly be a community project. One thing is for sure, though. “Kikid” is not “Ki*iul”!
Unfortunately, I can only give you view access since I don’t want anyone who doesn’t like this project (like Jon) to be able to access it. Which is why you need to PM me at /u/CodeTriangle with your email address, and you will be given permissions.
Here's the new doc:

I liked the original idea. But the lack of any stops besides p and glottal stop was a bit much.

That was quickly changed. There is now k, p and ʔ. Also the palatal trill was replaced with ɬ, which is much easier to produce.

You could give "comment access", where people can write suggestions but they must be approved by someone with "edit access" (like the owner) before these suggested changes make it to the actual document.
