International auxiliary language
language meant for communication between people from different nations who do not share a common first language
An International auxiliary language[A] (shortly IAL or auxlang) is a language that is intended for communication between people who have different first languages.[1]
Languages of large societies over the centuries have almost reached the international level, for example Latin, Greek, Standard Arabic, Standard Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish.[2]
Some people have turned to the idea of promoting an artificial or constructed language as a possible IAL, for example Esperanto, Ido and Interlingua.[2]
