  Idiom Neutral - Langmaker
Idiom Neutral (also known as Neutral) is an international auxiliary language, created in 1902 by Waldemar Rosenberger.
Initially, Idiom Neutral was received well by advocates of an international language, and in 1907 it was among the projects discussed by a group of scientists at an auxlang conference in Paris.
In 1909 the stenographer Jules Meysmans published Idiom Neutral Modifiket, and in 1912 the Luxemburger J.B. Pinth proposed an Idiom Neutral Reformed.

Idiom Neutral is an international auxiliary language, published in 1902 by the International Academy of the Universal Language (Akademi Internasional de Lingu Universal) under the leadership of Waldemar Rosenberger, a St.
Dictionaries of Idiom Neutral including an outline of the grammar were published in several European languages in 1902 and 1903.
In 1907 Neutral was one of the projects considered by a committee of scholars which met in Paris to select an international auxiliary language (what the committee actually decided upon is disputed; see Ido and its external links for more information).

The most marked feature of Idiom Neutral is that its vocabulary is definitely and consistently based on the principle of the maximum of internationality for the roots.
In its grammar Idiom Neutral is almost entirely a-posteriori on a Romance basis, generally’ following French, sometimes in a somewhat slavish and unintelligent fashion, as in the use of eske as an interrogative particle, and of leplu as the mark of the superlative, although there is no definite article in Idiom Neutral.
Al fin, Idiom Neutral deveniva perdite in un mar de furcationes parallel (includente Mundolingue, Nuove Roman, Lingua Komun, Universal, and Latino sine Flexione), e in tempore esseva abandonate in toto.

 idiom - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about idiom
Many idioms are used only in spoken and informal language, for example dropping like flies (when many people are becoming ill or dying from the same illness).
In other idioms, the words are less fixed; for example, something can be said to be selling or going like hot cakes when it is selling very well.
It is precisely because such phrases are not part of the current idiom that they give distinction to the style.

 The handling of word, from 'The Complete Plain Words'
Strictly, idiom is different from grammar: the two are often in conflict.
Idiom is defined by the O.E.D. as "a peculiarity of phraseology approved by usage and often having a meaning other than its logical or grammatical one".
Idiom does not conflict with grammar or logic as a matter of course; it is usually grammatically and logically neutral.

 UNIVERSAL LANGUAGES - Online Information article about UNIVERSAL LANGUAGES
The most marked feature of Idiom Neutral is that its vocabulary is definitely and consistently based on the principle of the maximum of inter-nationality for the roots.
On the whole, there can be no doubt that Idiom Neutral is the simplest language that has yet been devised, and the most easily understood by any educated European; those who take several days to learn to read Esperanto find that they can read Idiom Neutral in as many minutes.
All a-posteriori systems are liable to various defects, the inevitable result of the conflict between their old and new elements, and the difficulties and embarrassments of an arbitrary selection.

It forms in that respect a continuation of Neutral and especially of Rosenberger's Reform-Neutral, but is based on more thorough study.
He thus does away with the arbitrary word elements of the other languages, but in his pronounced endeavour to have "natural" forms he is obliged largely to abandon ease and regularity of formation, admitting in many cases two root-forms for the same word to be used in different derivatives, e.g.
Through regularity of word-formation we take into consideration the interests of those who know only their own language - but I am afraid that when Occidental is praised as very easy, it is chiefly by people who are already familiar with two or three of the great European languages.

 PEP 276 -- Simple Iterator for ints
A common programming idiom is to take a collection of objects and apply some operation to each item in the collection in some established sequential order.
In such a case it is necessary to use an idiom where one iterates through a sequence of indices (indexes) in order to access the desired items in the table.
Response: The standard idiom is so nice when it fits that it needs neither extra "carrot" nor "stick".

Idiom, a New Zealand based software development organisation and a member of the RHE Group, developed the Idiom Decision Server to assist companies to build and deploy new products and services, leveraging their existing business systems.
Idiom Director Mark Norton said that the Idiom Decision Server had attracted a significant amount of attention at the CeBIT Expo in Sydney earlier this week because it delivered a clear pathway for cost effective business growth.
We have found this to be attractive to businesses because it enables them to start with one small set of business rules and integrate these into one area of the business, which reduces risk and costs.

The old worlds were, on the one hand, each of them, a cosmos: purposive, hierarchial, 'meaningful'; and on the other hand, not quite unified, consisting of subworlds each with its own idiom and logic, not subsumable under a single overall orderliness.
Their mysteries are far closer to mutual intelligibility, their manuals have idioms which overlap to a much greater extent, and re-training, though sometimes difficult, is not generally an awesome task.
A modern army subjects its recruits first to a shared generic training, in the course of which they are meant to acquire and internalize the basic idiom, ritual and skills common to the army as a whole; and only subsequently are the recruits given more specialized training.

In the end, Idiom Neutral became lost in a sea of parallel or offshoot projects (including Mundolingue, Nuove Roman, Lingua Komun, Universal, and Latino sine Flexione), and was eventually abandoned altogether.

 AIL - Idiom Neutral
None of them had any practical influence, but those of Lott, Liptay and Heintzeler deserve mention here, because they show a growing conciousness, that the task is not so much to invent a language as to find out what is already in international use, and to utilize that to the utmost extent.
All the while some members of the Volapük Academy were patiently and steadily at work under the presidency of W. Rosenberger of St. Petersburg, and when finally they brought out their language under the title of Idiom Neutral (1902), it turned out to be something as different from Volapük as day is from night.
In the vocabulary, the maximum of internationality had been aimed at, this being calculated by counting how many of the seven principal languages contained a particular word.

 University of Chicago Law School > Contest and Consent: A Legal History of Marital Rape
But organized feminism explained the right to self-ownership in an idiom radically different from that employed by the nation's founders: one that was grounded in a gender-specific understanding of the comparative social position of women and men.
It is a doctrinal methodology for denying the possibility that the interests of men and women may be unaligned, differentially affected, even antagonistically opposed to one another, and not interchangeable at all.
All this indicates that there are deep-seated reasons why the course of the modern effort against marital rape importantly resembles that of its nineteenth-century predecessor, where feminists campaigning to unseat a husband's conjugal prerogatives had much less of an impact on the law than they sought, or won elsewhere.

It fell to pieces through dissensions in its own camp, the first cause of which was the opposition of the inventor to those of his disciples who aimed at making the language mainly an instrument of commercial correspondence, and advocated the greatest possible simplification of grammar and vocabulary.
A new director, M. Rosenberger of St Petersburg, was elected in 1893; and from this moment the Academy dissociated itself from Volapük and began to construct a new international language, Idiom Neutral (see UNIVERSAL LANGUAGES).

In 1910, the Idiom Neutral (formerly Volapük) Academy, under the leadership of an Italian mathematician, Giuseppe Peano, became the Academia Pro Interlingua, a society for research in interlinguistics.
They have been restricting their endeavors more and more consciously to the arrangement and processing of words and rules of grammar which they have culled from existing natural languages.
The French final ‑e and the Spanish diphthong are specifically French and Spanish developments from the original neutral final ‑a and the original neutral monophthong ‑e‑ respectively.
