Dutton Speedwords is an international auxiliary language as well a shorthand writing system.

From hints given in Teach Yourself Dutton Speedwords, we know this much: The Speedwords letter _c_ is always pronounced like the English digraph "ch" in "church." When a consonant is followed by _y,_ the y is pronounced /ai/; the speedword _ny_ sounds like the English word `nigh.' Q is pronounced /kw/.
For instance, we might expect the Speedword for "house" to be _dop_ or _rydo,_ but Dutton claims it is _ryg,_ and he asserts that _dop_ means "address." Likewise Dutton tells us that "bridge" is translated as _sutkru,_ not _krum_ or _krul_ as one might expect; Dutton asserts that _krul_ means "swastika"!

 The Dutton Study Society
Dutton Speedwords, invented by Reginald J.G. Dutton during a period of three decades, serve as both an international auxiliary language and a shorthand writing system.
Dutton decided to give his Speedwords a dual function with the realization that the general public did not see the practical value of learning a form of international communication and therefore needed to see a useful application of the language to be coaxed into learning it.
It is with this renewed interest in Speedwords that The Dutton Study Society initiated and co-ordinated the production of this internet resource with the aim of preserving Dutton's story and that of his Speedwords.

 LangX - A NEW TEMPLATE FOR THE INTERNATIONAL AUXILIARY LANGUAGE - General Observations
A shorthand is useful not only for economy's sake, it allows a more precise systematic arrangement of the words (morphemes) for a more comprehensive understanding of the languages' expressive potential, which provides for a more intelligent and effective use of it.
Rather than having grammatical features as an aid to understanding, Speedwords relies on the effectiveness of its word formation, that guarantees a one meaning per word system which covers all words without any synonyms and even provides words to substitute a word whose meaning is ambiguous.
The essential point is that the "official" and "advanced unofficial" versions of the IAL, and all stages in between, should always be exactly the same language: thus the "official" IAL should result from an "advanced unofficial" version of the IAL being used in a simple way.
