 Ido - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ido first appeared in 1907 as a result of a desire to reform perceived flaws in Esperanto that its supporters believed to be a hindrance in its propagation as an easy-to-learn second language.
Ido, unlike Esperanto, does not assume the male sex as the default for family relationship words, and thus does not, for example, derive the word for "sister" by adding a feminine suffix to the word for "brother", as standard Esperanto does.
Ido's vocabulary attempts to use cognates that are shared in common by as many of its source languages as possible.

 Language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Though language is commonly used for communication, it is not synonymous with it.
For example, the boundaries between named language groups are in effect arbitrary due to blending between populations (the dialect continuum).
One should be careful about the underlying classification principle for groups of languages which have apparently a geographical name: besides areal linguistic units, the taxa of the genetic classification (language families) are often given names which themselves or parts of which refer to geographical areas.

 Ido - Wikipedia
Ido imposes consistent rules on the use of endings to tranform a word from one meaning or part of speech to another, thus simplifying the amount of vocabulary memorization that is necessary.
Ido, unlike Esperanto, does not assume the male gender as the default, and thus does not, for example, define a sister as a female-brother, as Esperanto does.
Couturat, who was the leading proponent of Ido, was killed in an automobile accident in 1914, which, along with World War I which began at much the same time, dealt a serious blow to the Ido movement.

 Encyclopedia: Esperanto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
An artificial or constructed language (known colloquially as a conlang among aficionados), is a language whose phonology, grammar and vocabulary are specifically devised by an individual or small group, rather than having naturally evolved as part of a culture as with natural languages.
It was to serve as an international auxiliary language, that is, as a universal second tongue, not to replace ethnic languages.
Common criticisms of the language are that its vocabulary and grammar are too Western European; that its vocabulary, accented letters, and grammar are not Western European enough (a critique addressed by Ido and Interlingua); that it is sexist, artificial, or has failed to live up to expectations.

 The main advantages of Ido
Ido is the result of the work of many linguists and scientists, among them many Esperantists.
In Ido c^ becomes ch, s^ becomes sh, g^ and j^ both become j (the distinction between g^ and j^ is unknown in many languages), j as semi-consonant before a vowel becomes y, u~ after a vowel becomes u; u~ as semi-consonant (as at the start of a word) becomes w.
Ido also has a very useful extra pronoun, lu, which does not indicate sex and so avoids the necessity to say repeatedly "he or she" or give false information by saying for example only "he" in a situation where it could also be "she".

(2) "Ido" was the pseudonym used by the author of the language, apparently primarily Couturat (again, see Waringhien's "Kulisaj manovroj" and the correspondence he quotes there).
Since, again, evidence is that Couturat at least masterminded the development of Ido, it would appear that he had attained the position he wanted: himself in possession of the field with the mandate to promote his own language project.
