An international auxiliary language (sometimes abbreviated as IAL or auxlang) is a language used (or to be used in the future) for communication between people from different nations who do not share a common native language. Although proposals have been made for existing languages to serve as an official international auxiliary language, the concept has been most commonly associated with constructed languages such as Esperanto which were designed from the beginning to serve this purpose. Proponents of Esperanto often use the term planned language instead, derived from the Esperanto word ''planlingvo'' (but this is somewhat ambiguous since it could also refer to constructed languages in general). See also lingua franca. The term "auxiliary" implies that it is intended to be an additional language for the people of the world, rather than replace their native languages. Often, the phrase is used to refer to constructed languages proposed specifically to ease worldwide international communication, such as Esperanto, Ido, Interlingua, Volapuk language, Glosa language, Folkspraak, Mondlango, Lingua Franca Nova and others. However, it can also refer to the concept of such a language being determined by international consensus, including even a natural language so chosen. Invented auxiliary languages are not widely used; nor have natural languages such as English language and French language penetrated universally, as some people imagine. Moreover, advocates of various languages disagree about which language should be universal. To overcome these difficulties, it has been proposed that some language (natural or invented) be chosen by consensus of officials elected by the nations of the world, in consultation with experts of various disciplines, a top-down approach. There would be a spoken and a written form. The language would be implemented in each nation as an additional (second) language, alongside the national languages. A bottom-up strategy tries to spread the language among ordinary users, so that it becomes the de facto standard. The adoption of an official script for the blind has also been proposed, to correspond to the chosen written international language. Moreover, sign languages like Gestuno have been proposed as a lingua franca for the deaf, since there are various mutually unintelligible sign languages. Some believe that such a sign language need not correspond to the spoken or written forms of the chosen international language because sign languages are independent of those forms. However, as with Esperanto and similar languages, the idea has not yet spread as widely as intended. Some people see the need for an official political endorsement from the nations of the world, backed by resources for instruction and implementation. == Auxiliary languages == ===Spoken=== * Atlango [http://www.vido.net/atlango] * Basic English * Dunia * Esperanto * Europanto * Fasile * Folkspraak * Glosa * Idiom Neutral * Ido * Interlingua * Kosmos language * Latino sine flexione * Lingua Franca Nova * Lojban * Mondlango * Novial language * Occidental language, also known as Interlingue * Ro * Romanica * Románico * Romanova * Slovio * Solresol language * Sona language * Toki Pona language * Volapük language ===Non-verbal languages=== * Blissymbols * Gestuno * Signuno ==External links== [http://onetongue.com OneTongue.com] - A website dedicated to spreading the idea of a world auxiliary language by a word-of-mouth or "word-by-email" campaign.

Is there anything reusable? User:Mikkalai 00:30, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC) :Su Cheng Zhong gives another idea of international language by his linguistic law (see linguistic law) that it gives an idea of legality of international language. Which language will be the best and legal language for a globalization age? Two points are the most concerned. The first one is that it could describe clearer idea than the rest languages. The second one is that it must easier to learn than the rest of languages. From the view of phonetic patterns, we found a language with more phonetic patterns will be the suitable language. I called it as pixel theory. From common sense we know that only smaller pixels could describe the information in large pixels. In language, the fact is that a language with more phonetic patterns will automatically turned to be smaller or shorter in pronunciation. Let us check the word 'pork', it was explained as 'the meat of pig', what if we use 'pig meat' instead 'pork'? It will be no different, the only thing inconvenient is that for 'pork' we use less phonetic patterns to express the same idea, therefor we may save the oral actions and energy. On the contrary, for the 'pig meat' we use more phonetic patterns. For a butcher, he may express the idea of 'pork' thousand times, that means he will save thousand phonetic patterns in one day by using 'pork' not 'pig meat'. On the other hand, rarely some one using the meat of donkey, therefor, we didn't design a single word for this idea. That means to say, when we design a language, the first thing to concern is give the high frequency idea shorter pronouncing style, while the rarely used idea, we have no choice, but give them a longer pronouncing style. If only the phonetic patterns increased sharply, then the less high frequent idea and some of the rarely used idea will turn to be shorter, for people are lazy. If only they have the chance to make the express shorter, they will not chose the longer one. A language with more phonetic pattern will always express a word in a language that have less phonetic patterns easily. The key issue is that it has shorter pronouncing system, therefor easy to put a group short word together as a compound or semantic word. Suppose a language has the word of 'pig' as 'pi' and the word of 'meat' as 'me', they could put them easily as 'pime' to indicate the idea of 'pork', while using the same phonetic patterns as English. Therefor it is unnecessary to create a word like 'pork' in English. The language user will understand it automatically, not like English speaker has to remember a new word like 'pork'. From this we know the design of word 'pork' is saving phonetic patterns or oral actions, under the condition of keeping a new word 'pork' in mind. :If a language has much more phonetic patterns than English does, obviously it will not have a word like 'pork', not only this, all the words that can be separated into few words could be disappeared. That means to say, in this language, they have much less words to remember than English does, while it express the same knowledge field as English and may be more. We know when people learn a word, the more times to repeat it, the clearer he remember it. A language with less word means the speaker will repeat it more times than a language with more words. If such a language has only 1/10 of the words of English has, then the speaker will repeat their words ten times as English speaker does. There are some English dictionaries that employed 5000 common words to explain all the few hundred thousands entry in it. It says that words could explain each other, but to explain all the words in a certain language, it at least has 5000 basic words. On the other hand, since every entry in such a dictionaries can be explain by a sentence that created by the 5000 words, then we can pick up all the key words in that sentence and put them together to create a self explained word for this entry. For it just like what we have done for the word 'alto'. Let lowest + female +voice = alto. If every such compound word is made by two common explaining words, then 5000 explaining words can create 5000¡Á5000=25000000 such word. Far more than any human language has. :Supposing, lo= lowest, fe= female and vo= voice, then we may use 'lofevo' to replace the word 'alto'. Although they spend roughly the same length of time to pronounce it, yet the 'lofevo' has some property that 'alto' hasn't. Supposing, we need a word as 'lowest male voice', and the word 'male' is as short as 'ma' then, we can easily write a word as 'lomavo' without any explanation, any one will accept it, no need to create a word as English 'basso'. Imagining a language has a word as the 'lowest girl's voice' while the word 'girl' is indicated as 'gi' then we may easily write a word as 'logivo'. This demonstrated what we said before that a language with more phonetic patterns would make clearer idea easier to learn than a language with less phonetic patterns. For the language that has more phonetic patterns will always translate the words of a language with less phonetic patterns automatically, while the later could not do the same job. It gives us the legal idea that the language that has utmost phonetic patterns will be the best language for international language. :(See also the entries of 'linguistic law', 'phonetic pattern' and 'linguistics') :for more detail: intelligent888@hotmail.com You're more tolerant than I am, Mikkalai.
