   • 1999, Jorge Camacho, “La mava lingvo”, in Lingva arto:

     Mavajn neologismojn ili anatemas imite la metodojn de la afganaj taliboj, krom se la koncerna radiko venas el la japana, la tamazirta aŭ la ĉiapa, ĉar plia kaj tre moda ingrediento de lingva simplismo estas la strebo al ia esperanto statistike internacia.

     They consider evil neologisms anathema in imitation of the methods of the Afghan Taliban, unless the root in question comes from Japanese, Tamazight or Chiapa, because a fashionable new ingredient of linguistic simplism is striving for a sort of statistically international Esperanto.

     Se via verko estos hiperplena da redundaj neologismoj, ĝi aspektos turpe kaj hide, kaj oni etikedos ĝin mava.

     If your work is hyperloaded with redundant neologisms, it will look filthy and hideous, and people will label it bad.
