		Solresol is an artificial language (A language that is deliberately created for a specific purpose), devised by a French (The Romance language spoken in France and in countries colonized by France) man, Jean François Sudre, beginning in 1817.
		As in Ro (An artificial language for international use that rejects all existing words and is based instead on an abstract analysis of ideas), the longer words are divided into categories of meaning, based on their first syllable (A unit of spoken language larger than a phoneme), or note.
		Solresol did have to face the difficulty that in France (A republic in western Europe; the largest country wholly in Europe), sign languages for deaf people were not allowed until over a century later (congress of Milan 1880 - law Fabius 1991).

	Encyclopedia: Sona language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		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.
		Constructed languages are often divided into a priori languages, in which much of the grammar and vocabulary is created from scratch (using the author's imagination or automatic computational means), and a posteriori languages, where the grammar and vocabulary are derived from one or more natural languages.
		A language of the birds, verbal/musical communication or language used by birds, or a mystical or divine language, is postulated in mythology, medieval literature and occultism.

		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.
		In this respect it resembles Wilkins' Philosophical Language based on the notion of a 'real character', that is, a written symbol (as opposed to a sound-sequence, in Solresol's case) which conveys a fixed, unambiguous meaning.

		The early 19th century, for instance, saw Jean-Francois Sudre's "Langue Musicale Universelle", or Solresol, which was based on the international names of the musical notes, with all words formed out of combinations of the syllables "do, re, mi, fa, so, la, si [sic?]".

		This common language would save the time and money that one has to spend if one wishes to learn only a few foreign languages--for merely choosing one to study is hard; the study is difficult, and it does no good if you have to go to another country whose language you do not know.
		This international language of universal communication exists, and all that is now needed is a little willingness on everyone's part to learn it, practice it, and spread it throughout the world.
		This language provides a means for deaf-mutes of all countries to communicate with each other, with the blind, and with everyone else; and it does so likewise in many ways.

	Comments on Solresol
		When a language has an easily detected lexical taxonomy, the very regularity of its forms will tend to reinforce the speaker's awareness that he is dealing with something artificial.
		I suggested (and still believe) that it was a matter of linguistic background: he knew only Germanic languages, which lack a true vocative case, while I knew various languages (Koine Greek, Latin, and Russian) that have at least vestiges of such a case.
		A means of handling other languages (including borrowings) would have to be found--this might not be an outright improvement on Solresol, as Sudre had the wit to construct some such system, but I don't know how his system worked, so another would be needed.

		The proponents of these languages, aware of the growing destructive military power of the European nations and eager to preclude a general war, hoped that their languages would be a civilizing and pacifying influence on nations.
		Rather than jumping straight into the design of such a language, I'd like to present a description of some of the artificial languages developed in past times, not with the intent of reviving them, but rather to point out some of their more interesting features.
		This is one of the more recent developments, designed in the 1960s not as an international language, but rather as a tool for academics and a proposed language of communication between humans and computers.

		Il Solresol fu una delle prime lingue ausiliarie, progettata nel 1817 dal francese Jean François Sudre ed ebbe una certa popolarità prima della nascita del Volapük e dell'Esperanto.
		La sua principale caratteristica è quella di avere solo sette elementi di base, che possono essere espressi suonando con qualsiasi strumento le sette note musicali, pronunciando i loro nomi come sillabe, disegnando con i sette colori dello spettro o scrivendo con un qualsiasi insieme di sette simboli.
		I principali difetti del Solresol sono il basso numero di sillabe e la difficoltà di distinguere due parole successive.

		Solresol was developed by Jean François Sudre (1787-1864) beginning in 1817 and running past his death (courtesy of posthumous publication) to 1866.
		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.
