	Solresol - Langmaker
		Solresol is an international auxiliary language designed by Jean Francois Sudre in 1827.
		The teaching of sign languages to the deaf mute was forbidden between 1880 and 1991 in France, contributing to Solresol's descent into obscurity.
		Stephen Rice writes, "Solresol is important to the history of constructed languages (particularly interlanguages) on several grounds: it was the first artificial language to get beyond the project stage and to be taken seriously as an interlanguage, and it also pioneered certain ideas that have only recently been rediscovered.

	Solresol: The universal musical language. \| MetaFilter
		And Solresol is one of the more interesting failures in there, especially as it ties into the larger impulse towards artificial language creation and the intersection of same with vaguely utopian, one-world impulses.
		Solresol's biggest stumbling block, as I see it, lies in its need for a 'classification of ideas' from which the lexicon is generated.
		So while solresol is a great historical artifact, and the original usage of "universal" may be merely naive, trying to promote it in 2002 as "universal" is borderline offensive to non-Westerners.

	Proceedings of the Athanasius Kircher Society » Solresol
		In practice Solresol is a language in the key of C. Imagine sitting down at a piano and only hitting the white keys randomly.
		Again, the reason Solresol doesn’t usually sound harsh or dissonant is because it uses a major scale with no semitones, not because it’s in C. You could just as easily sing it in any other key — and unless you have perfect pitch or a tuning fork, you probably will.
		[…] Than Solresol: During the first half of the 19th century, a half-century before L.L. Zamenhof invented Esperanto, the universal language movement achieved its apotheosis in Solresol, the first artificial language ever to develop beyond mere concept.

		Solresol is bound to receive the same reaction, as it features more inventive and unusual pop with a uniquely cool slant.
		Strangely, when you look up 'Solresol' on dictionary.com it is solely defined as being 'an artificial language' with no mention of Frenchman Jean Francois Sudre, the creator of the universal language based on music by that name.
		It is this language that is the subject of the title track and reflected throughout the album with songs that use the subject as metaphor such as 'Complicated Melody', 'The Fighting Guitars', and 'A Capella'.

	GRAMMAR OF SOLRESOL
		Thus by means of Solresol, the blind will be able to exchange ideas with foreign deaf-mutes and vice-versa, so everyone will be able to answer them and be understood by them.
		Solresol offers an advantage not found in any other language: it expresses the opposite meaning by reversing the word, syllable by syllable.
		Important Note: -When speaking Solresol, one should take great care to pause after every word; this slight pause is necessary to separate the words, so that the listener does not become confused but understands easily.

	The Null Device: comments on "Solresol"
		The bizarre story of Solresol, a musical language, designed by a 19th-century French inventor, in which sequences of notes represent words.
		After its inventor passed away in 1862 or so, and Solresol soon vanished into obscurity, unable to compete against more user-friendly languages such as Volapuk and Esperanto.
		However, a revival is under way, led by various cryptographers, musicologists and miscellaneous enthusiasts across the world, with a website (unreachable at time of writing), proposed automated translation programs, and seven Solresol characters are apparently in the Unicode spec (though I couldn't find them).

		Before any of these meta languages, there was Solresol, an early attempt by a Frenchman named Jean François Sudre at a universal language based on the musical tones in a major scale.
		In addition to being a musical language, Solresol could be also written or signed.
		So G# (called "si" in Solfeggio) does not technically exist in Solresol--assuming Do=C. The reason Do is usually C is because the C Major scale has no sharps or flats and is the starting point in the circle of fifths.

		But the book of solresol was a timid effort of a widowed woman to try to make a little money with the invention of her man after he was dead.
		I suppose, she did print only a minimal quantity.
