 LangX - A NEW TEMPLATE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL AUXILIARY LANGUAGE - Background
Thus LANGO would be initially derived from the "naturally evolved" speech patterns of English, though subject to careful planning and guidance thereafter; but LangX would be more obviously constructed, though of more or less entirely organic elements.
LANGO incorporated the idea that grammatical reform must accompany spelling reform: a theory originally (?) promulgated by Professor JYT Greig in his 1928 monograph "Breaking Priscian's Head: English as She will be Spoke and Wrote" (but sadly neglected by English spelling reformers before and since).
In Chapter 5 of LANGO we showed how the revision of Esperanto, and hence the prospect of its international endorsement, has continued to be frustrated by the inviolable terms of Zamenhof's "Fundamento".

 Reviews of three books.
The overall aim of Lango is to set out an alternative view of the international language problem and to propose a reformed version of English as an international auxiliary language.
Considering that the authors spend a lot of the book stating that the language is to be based as far as possible on what most speakers of English and other languages are familiar with, this is way too disruptive.
For spelling reformers this means that to concentrate on the internationally used form of the language must be the first priority and that users of the local dialect or form of English can be left to their own devices (and possibly retaining TO).
