What I do is: If you're bartering/bargaining you don't have limitations. If you're using it differently, players must talk with simple sentences (only one verb), without conjugating the verbs (this may not seem important to some of you, but it's more critical in latin languages than English) and very few adjectives. It's quite funny.
