	Occidental language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The language Occidental, later Interlingue, is a planned language created by the Estonian naval officer and teacher Edgar de Wahl and published in 1922.
		Occidental is devised with great care to ensure that many of its derived word forms do reflect the similar forms common to a number of Western European languages.
		The result is a language relatively easy to understand at first sight for individuals acquainted with several Western European languages.

	Which Language To Study at Occidental
		The language chosen should depend upon the region of the world that the student wishes to emphasize (and/or upon future career interests) and is best chosen in consultation with the advisors in the department.
		Further languages can be learned in graduate school, but the more of these languages the student can already do research in at entry to grad school, the more likely the student is to get into top schools and to progress quickly at that level.
		Russian is spoken as a first language or as the language of education and commerce by more than 300 million people stretching from the Baltic to the Pacific, a span of 8000 miles.

	Five Theses to Hammer on the Gates of Babel (Alexander Gode)
		I hold that the concept of one language for all mankind -- as commonly defined -- is a misconception and-at-best an interesting museum piece, useful as an exhibit to exemplify a certain kind of intellectual aberration in which our fathers and grandfathers got involved by reason of their enthusiastic endorsement of rationalistic positivism.
		No language is ugly, except the Saxon dialect spoken in the vicinity of Leipzig, (which uncalled-for remark I insert at this point only to illustrate how naive and subjectively prejudiced are all verdicts of ugly and beautiful when it comes to matters of language).
		Language is a tool and, like other tools, it can be modified (and is, on a regular basis) and even created from scratch.

	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.

		Wahl named his language «Occidental», because the international vocabulary derived almost solely from the great western (occidental) languages.
		For his international language project he sought to utilise the already-existent international vocabulary as fully as possible, but without the irregularities present in the national languages.
		You can look at Wahl’s language as a successful middle road, as a compromise between the inherited international vocabulary, which represents European cultural heritage, and a simple and regular linguistic structure, which gives everyone, not just Europeans, the ability to use the language after a very short time.

	AIL - Occidental (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The name indicates his principal idea: he wants to make a language for use in the Occidental world with no immediate thought of catering for the people of the Orient, and he therefore bases his scheme on the Occidental languages, chiefly the Romanic ones.
		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.

	require
		The language requirement is met as soon as a student has reached Occidental's Language 102 level proficiency in the language chosen.
		All students are required to complete the language requirement in the freshman and sophomore years except in the case of those whose major requirements necessitate postponement to the junior year.
		Taking language courses in the Occidental Summer School offers at least two important advantages that you might wish to consider: The classes are smaller, allowing for more individual attention to the students, and you satisfy the language requirement in a short period of time.

	pjammer: The Occidental Native
		As some of you know, the U.S. military maintains a language center in Monterey, CA, where recruits are trained to become linguists and communications experts to analyze foreign message transmissions in American listening posts around the world.
		Having heard many people claim that their native language is the "hardest" in the world, I did a little bit of research.
		She has encouraged me in the realm of language, though if the army is correct she was just helping to build on the foundations already in place.

	English,the language of a minority \| Antimoon Forum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		English is the international language only for the north americans,the europeans and the australians because it shares a lot of linguistic features with the other related indo european languages (except finnish,hungarian,esthonian and euskera).
		Esperanto allows a better and fairer communication,using this language we are all equal and we can preserve our national or local language.Esperanto has not be designed to replace the national language but for helping communication between people speaking different languages.
		I agree that there would be no nationality attached to the language, but I definitely think "Westerners" would have an advantage when it comes to learning the language, not to mention that cultural inheritance that would come along with having an international language based on European languages.

	An International Language
		The advantages of an auxiliary language are that, firstly, you get to speak to a lot more people (which is why few people learn Danish or Catalan) and secondly, that it puts people on an equal footing; if neither of you is a native speaker, neither is at linguistic disadvantage.
		Features of a language which seem perfectly "natural" and even universal often turn out to be the products of a specific culture and worldview, and may strike speakers of radically different languages as cumbersome, confusing or oppressive.
		At present all EC documents have to be translated into over a dozen languages, and debates need simultaneous translation (you may have noticed how when a Euro MP makes a joke, the laughter spreads slowly round the chamber as different translations reach their listeners).

		These ideas were not accepted by the Délegation to which they were submitted and de Wahl proceeded to elaborate his own system until, in 1922, he published them as his own language Occidental, in his paper Kosmoglott, later to be named Cosmoglotta.
		It should be an organic, autonomous entity, living and growing according to its own laws, harmonizing and assimilating new elements, and not be a conglomeration of different words put together at random.
		Occidental has four diphthongs, au, ay, ey, oy, as well as eu in D ö.

	IPI 39
		He proposes a model of language creation according to which a planned language is considered merely to embody a higher level of linguistic abstraction than a standardized (written) literary ethnic language.
		The ideological foundation of the language was a special branch of anarchism (pananarchism), while the material forms of the language were linked to the same sources as futuristic poetry.
		Occidental can be viewed as a project situated at the interface of two major currents in language design: naturalism and, perhaps surprisingly, the Esperanto tradition.

		It must have been the language of the ten Bornean datus believed to be the ancestors of the West Visayans as recorded in the Maragtas and Panay epics.
		It became associated with the soiled workingman of the farms and the highlands, of the vulgar and uneducated, of the muchacha and the sakada.
		At the end, the language becomes irrelevant: the craft has transcended mere locality to render universal what is human and worthy in the poets an their milieu.

		Just as I pleaded for the principle of tolerance in logical languages, I am in the field of international languages on the side of those who emphasize the common aim and the similarity of the proposed means.

	NB online - Department of Planned Languages and Esperanto Museum - Terminology science and planned languages
		The philosophical (a priori) universal languages which have been created since the 16th and 17th centuries - based on the classification of the knowledge available at the time - were constructed to facilitate "right thinking" and to give completely new insights into the fundamental principles of the "right philosophy" (Descartes).
		This is followed by a description of the role of planned languages in the development of Wüster's terminological thought, and then by some comments on current efforts to apply the findings of terminology science in the field of planned languages.

		Often, the same name in an Occidental language could be rendered using various combinations of Chinese characters, so that readers often took them to be different persons or places.
		A grid chart could then be devised to represent all sounds of foreign languages by using particular Chinese characters to map the cells cross-determined by combinations of consonants and vowels in the Chinese language.
		Because of these differences, Fu concluded that it was impossible « to capture the linguistic features of a foreign language, » without « disrupting the syntactic structures and linguistic peculiarities of the mother tongue » ([Fu Lei 1951] Editorial Board 1984b: 80).
