Interlingua
Language Information
Interlingua is an international auxiliary language used by a small community of speakers around the world.
Interlingua was published in 1951 by the International Auxiliary Language Association, under the direction of the linguist Alexander Gode. Its vocabulary and grammar are drawn from what is common to English, French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, with German and Russian as secondary sources, so that speakers of Romance languages can read it without prior study.
