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.

 Novial language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Novial [nov-, new + IAL, International Auxiliary Language] is a constructed language devised by Professor Otto Jespersen, a Danish linguist who had previously been involved in the Ido movement.
He devised Novial to be an international auxiliary language (IAL), which would facilitate international communication and friendship, without displacing anyone's native language.

 Novial language
While Novial is not very popular relative to its famous predecessor, Esperanto, it has a small group of enthsiasts.
Syntax is largely a matter of word order, as in English and modern Scandinavia languages[?].
A genitive or posessive case is available, based on Jespersen's observation that many modern languages that have lost complex noun inflections yet retain a posessive form.

 Ido - Wikipedia
Esperanto's alphabet uses six new letters, three of which which are not found in any existing language; as a result, Esperanto in typing and in internet e-mail and newsgroups frequently resorts to any of several schemes to represent these special letters.
Zamenhof, as well as many of the language's supporters, resisted any effort at improving it, even though several of the reforms adopted by Ido were themselves proposed at various times by Zamenhof.
However, the language still has a few speakers today, and the internet has sparked a renewal of interest in the language in recent years.

 Creative Linguistics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Controlled languages are human languages where some restrictions have been applied in order to meet the requirements of a machine translation system (and hence deliver a high quality output), or in order to ensure a correct comprehension and interpretation from (usually foreign) readers.
Unfortunately, none of these languages have reached such a status so far, but I find them interesting because they are a mixture of science and art that involves linguistic knowledge, intuition, creativity and taste.
NOVIAL PRO : A few years ago there was a sprout of interest among several people on reviving Novial, the language Otto Jespersen devised in 1928-30, though some modifications were proposed to the original language.

 A project to reform Novial
For this reason it is necessary that the basic structure of the language and the basic principles governing its construction be as safe from criticism as is possible, that is, that they be as definitive as possible.
It would be possible to relaunch the language as it stood in 1928/30, or perhaps as in 1934 or 1939.
But in order to give a modern movement for the language its own authenticity and confidence, it is desirable to go over the language one more time, in order to be completely satisfied that there is nothing that can obviously be done better than in the original version.

Novial, an acronym of Nova International Auxiliari Lingue was created in 1928 by Otto Jespersen, formerly esperantist and idist.
Rodríguez refers that this language was created by Bosz Vilmos, a Hungarian, but doesn’t give the date.

 Novial '98   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Novial '98 is an ongoing project to revive and improve (where felt necessary) Novial.
Our aim is to leave it as close to Jespersen's original language (as presented in An International Language" and "Novial Lexike") as possible, but to fix up some problematic or difficult areas, increase the vocabulary, and ultimately present it to the world as an international auxiliary language.
It has been decided for Novial '98, however, that while it is always correct to use the three distinct pronouns le, lu, lum, it is also permissible to use just le as a "general third person pronoun" for all beings and things, if it is felt that no confusion or ambiguity will thereby result.

 NOVIAL PRO: Grammar changes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Jespersen called this language Novial, and it was meant to be easier to learn and to read than the other international auxiliary languages (IALs) existing in his time.
However, it is possible that a better compromise could be attained where naturalistic solutions were kept within the limits of a strictly schematical grammar.
This meant certain amount of flexionality on former Novial which is now unnecessary, and therefore eliminated.

Their claim is only that a common intermediary (auxiliary) language might provide some modicum of positive value in human communication over the current state of affairs.
This would tend to indicate that a language which was neither speaker's native tongue was a better medium of communication than the same tongue used when it was native to one.
If a language largely remains under the original principals, no matter how enthusiastic they individually are, then the language may remain little more than a hobby for its few users.

 Articles - Ido   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Unlike English (a language which often seems convoluted to non-native speakers), Ido is designed for grammatical, orthographic, and lexicographical regularity, and to favour no one who might otherwise be advantaged due to native fluency.
The idea of a universal second language is not a new one, and constructed languages are not a recent phenomenon.
The word alternatoro for example was adopted in 1926, likely because five of the six source languages used largely the same orthography for the word, and because it was long enough to avoid being mistaken for other words in the existing vocabulary.
