  International auxiliary language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Today, English is the language most commonly used for this purpose (see lingua franca).

 The Horns of a Dilemma: Auxlang vs Onelang
AUXLANG That's taking too much on trust, and in any case a dialect is always the inferior substitute of a separate language.
AUXLANG Your worldview is predicated on the notion of competition and the battle for dominance.
AUXLANG It could be ambition, or the well-known psychological phenomenon that causes people to love their oppressor.

 Ekspreso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It is an easy-to-learn language meant to serve as an international auxiliary language quite useful for people who want to meet foreigners and learn about other countries and cultures.
It was invented as a derivative of Interlingua by Jay Bowks, a school teacher from New Hampshire, in 1996, as a result of discussion on the Auxlang email list.
Ekspreso aims to be easier and faster to learn as a second language than Esperanto, particularly for speakers of European languages.

 Auxlang Testing   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Auxlangers believe that true auxlangs are constructed languages (conlangs) that are easy to learn, pronounce and understand, and are culturally neutral.
Grammar is a small part of a good auxlang, so it does not matter if the testers are familiar with the auxlang's grammar.
For example, if the test is written in HTML, all the auxlang words should be bold, all the auxlang roots should be separated with dashes, and all the rest of the test should not be bold.

Salveto - A conlang / auxlang for a new millenium
Salveto (pronounced "sahl-VET-oh") is a constructed language (conlang) designed to be used as an international auxilliary language (auxlang or IAL) with a vocabulary based on Latin and modern Romance languages.
Like Esperanto and many other auxlangs, it is designed to bring people together from all over the world by providing a common language that's easy to learn.

An auxiliary language (an “auxlang”) would have no irregular verbs or adjectives; the equivalents of “good,” “better,” and “best” would come out as “good,” “gooder,” and “goodest.” Prefixes and suffixes can carry a greater burden than most of us have ever imagined.
But auxlangs are culturally neutral only in the sense that they force everyone to do the hard work of learning a new language.
In a more important sense, however, cultural neutrality is a fiction because all auxlangs inevitably reflect the culture of their inventors.

An auxlang is supposed to be easier to learn and use than a natural language such as English or French.
Auxlang is SVO — in the typical Auxlang sentence, the subject precedes the verb, and the object follows it.
Auxlang should be rich in "metonyms" — general "cover terms" like "house", "clothes", "vehicle", etc., usable as stand-ins for more specialised terms ("palace", "sou'wester", etc.) and as components in compound words.

 farewell to auxiliary languages
Of course, certain auxlangs "had to be" excluded from the ballot; and if you were just starting to design an auxlang, you might as well put your crayons away, because this group will have already made its decision before your vocabulary is assembled.
The auxlang milieu is competitive; publishing a new project is a subtle way of telling all those who published previously that they got it wrong, and now the auxlang designer du jour is going to show how it really should be done.
The authors of new global auxlang projects sometimes brag that their languages are not the property of any single culture, but unfortunately this disconnectedness makes it difficult for such projects to appear interesting.

 Blahedo's Auxlang Links
(aka "Interlingue") was a very naturalistic auxlang developed by Edgar de Wahl in the mid-1920s.
It was contemporary with Novial, and showed many similar features (and indeed later Novial displayed many reforms to bring it closer to Occidental).
was a collaboratively designed inter-Germanic auxlang; it seems to be dormant since mid-1996.

 User:WeepingElf - FrathWiki
Many auxlang proposals I have seen are linguistically naïve, and the intellectual and linguistic brilliance I have found in many of the artlangs done by CONLANG list members is barely even approached.
(Of course, auxlang proposals are usually addressed at non-linguists, and many of the 'interesting' linguistic features found in some artlangs would conflict with the auxlang ideal of easy use and learning.
English is part of the educational canon in most Western and many non-Western countries; it is the language of most of the Internet, and the language most people today take recourse to whenever they assume that the person they are talking to is not of the same native language, etc. p.

 X-languages - FrathWiki
None of the X-languages has a conculture attached, and none is intended to be naturalistic.
What I am not going to do is to propose any of the X-languages as an auxlang or anything like that.
They are experimental and way too bizarre to be actually used (for example, I doubt that any human can parse an X-2 sentence which makes ample use of the language's stack-manipulation tricks in real time); and I am doing this (as all of my conlangs) just for fun.

 Criticisms of LangX
Many changes occur with age that could affect language learning and create the wide range of individual differences that are the hallmark of learning a second language—loss of ability to segment sounds, loss of neurological plasticity, increased capacity to recall and store input, changes in motivation to learn and self-consciousness." (AA 2/9/05)
You seem to be advocating the abolition of all natural languages once we have a good enough auxlang being used widely enough.

 Two Fundamental Types of Common Language
The ONELANG has always contained a supranational ("above nations") element, whereas the AUXLANG has been more international ("between nations"), which is why the phrase "international auxilary language" (IAL) has usually referred to an AUXLANG.
The choice will necessarily be between a language of the ONELANG or AUXLANG variety.
A conscious choice would tend to favour the AUXLANG alternative - which has numerous potential theoretical advantages in terms of regular grammar, rationalised orthography, "cultural neutrality" and the like.

 Various comments on Baha'i auxlang policy (long)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
(Other successful conlangs aimed at something other than being an auxlang include various signing systems for the deaf, or Modern Hebrew.) It has had millions of users in the past, and presently boasts a fluent population of (I guess) a few hundred thousand, with maybe twice that many with lesser exposure.
As I understand it the Baha'is are leaving it to the future world government to pick a committee to decide auxlang policy.
But Baha'is could still be very useful to the auxlang discussion, while reaping intangible benefits for their own transnational solidarity, as I mentioned, without prejudicing future auxlang policy.
