  Irregularities and exceptions in Interlingua - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interlingua is notable in the sense that most languages intended as auxiliary languages seek to minimise or eliminate any irregular aspects.
The below irregularities and exceptions are a compromise to make the language appear more familiar to speakers of Romance languages, in which many of the below verbal irregularities can be found.
On the other hand, Interlingua specifies that these irregularities are optional, so that their use or otherwise is not mandated by the language.

 interlingua   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
Interlingua is an international auxiliary language based on the words that are common to the major West-European languages and on a simplified Anglo-Romance grammar.
Interlingua is designed to be a combination of this pre-existing international vocabulary with a streamlined Anglo-Romance grammar, created in hopes that many people would be able to understand it easily.
Interlingua is the second-most spoken international auxiliary language after Esperanto, although it claims to be the most widely understood IAL by virtue of the naturality of its grammar and vocabulary, allowing polyglots and especially speakers of Romance languages to read and understand it at first sight.

Interlingua is designed to be a combination of this pre-existing vocabulary with a minimalist grammar, created in hopes that people exposed to the control languages would find it readily understandable.
Interlingua may be the second-most spoken international auxiliary language (IAL) after Esperanto, although the estimated number of speakers overlaps with that of Ido.
Interlingua supporters point out that Esperanto, despite being based on slavic, germanic, and romance languages, has some of its strongest communities in China and Japan, where the local languages are totally unrelated to the Indo-European languages.

 The language problem and its solution in Ido
That which is irregular and fantastic to the foreigner is the pronunciation.
Interlingua does give a list of affixes which can be applied according to the whim of the writer, but no Latinist project that I am acquainted with attempts a logical and fixed form of word derivation, such as we find in Ido and Esperanto.
Interlingua, like some other Latin projects, derives its terminal letters from the genitive form of, the Latin root and therefore ends variously in -a, -o, -u, -e,(9) instead of having the one of of Ido.

 Curso De Interlingua Pro Anglo-Parlantes - Wikipedia
Even after several hundred hours studying a language at school very few pupils can speak the language fluently, because a major hindrance to learning a foreign language is the need to master all the exceptions, irregularities and complicated grammars.
(Try explaining to a foreigner what is wrong with the logically correct sentence "the sheep eated the mouses" or "he haves seed the gooses!) The school student of French despairs at all the irregular verbs in the language, and even university students of Russian never master Russian's complicated ways of translating verbs of motion.
There is! It is called INTERLINGUA, an international language developed over a couple of decades by professional linguists.

Interlingua, being more romance-based than other notable constructed languages, often refers to itself as the modernized and simplified form of Latin.
Interlingua has also seen a small resurgence thanks to the Internet, with the number of speakers jumping tenfold in the short years since the UMI founded a website with free information on Interlingua.
Some say that Interlingua is too Romance in its grammar and vocabulary, and is not fair towards Germanic languages.

I personally like naturalistic languages, so my invented languages are full of irregularities, quirky lexical derivations, and interesting idioms.
The danger here is a) creating a system so pristine, so abstract, that it's also impossible to learn; or b) not noticing when you reproduce some illogicality present in the models you're using.
Interlingua is based on nine languages, and usually adopts the word found in the most languages.

The second solution was the invention of a synthetic language based on natural languages, but without their numerous irregularities and exceptions.
Such languages as Esperanto, Volapuk and Interlingua belong to this group and, since they are related to existing languages, are easier to learn for European speakers.
It is most unlikely that the governments of the world will ever formally agree on an international language, but meanwhile, whether we like it or not, there are signs that English is gradually becoming accepted as a second language by a majority of people all over the world.
