Introduction

During the past three or four centuries, proposals for hundreds of planned languages have been published, and some of these projects have managed to attract a number of followers. Many of these language designs are very interesting from a linguistic, philosophical or psychological point of view. Unfortunately, it is often very difficult to find information about planned langauges other than Esperanto. I have compiled this bibliography in hopes of making such information more accessible.

Obtaining the materials listed here ranges from easy to nearly impossible, depending on the item. If a book or brochure is listed in this bibliography with a `call number,' i.e. a Dewey decimal number or Library of Congress classification number, that particular item is likely to be available via Inter-Library Loan; your local library will probably be able to obtain it for you if they participate in the Inter-Library Loan system. Older items can often be obtained by requesting photo-copies from other planned language enthusiasts. A handful of the items listed here are still in print and available from bookstores.

Please inform me of significant errors or omissions so that future versions may be more complete and more useful. (I have not tried to copy every reference from every bibliography that has ever been published on this topic. For the most part, I have limited the items included here to those which could actually be obtained with a reasonable amount of effort, and those which are well-known or historically important within the constructed language milieu.)

chapter 2

Volapük

The first planned language to attract more than a handful of followers was Volapük (that's Volapuk with a diaeresis over the `u'), invented during a night of insomnia in 1879 by Johann Martin Schleyer. By 1889, there were about 300 Volapük societies or clubs in existence, and 1600 persons had earned the Volapük diploma certifying their competence in the language. Between 200,000 and one million people had some knowledge of Volapük. But eleven years later, at the turn of the century, the number of organized Volapükists had dropped below 1000 and Volapük seemed to be on its way to extinction. However, there are still a few people who remain interested in Volapük; several books about it were published in Germany during the 1980's, and Volapük newsletters were started in 1956 (Volapukagased pro Nedanapukans), in 1979 (Vog Volapuka), and another appeared very recently in the United Kingdom.

Ido

Ido appeared in the form of an anonymous proposal sent in 1907 to an academic committee considering the merits of various planned languages. The language eventually came to be known by the pseudonym of its author, `Ido' (an Esperanto suffix meaning `offspring'). Ido seems to have enjoyed its greatest popularity between 1908 and 1930, but it still has some active supporters. At least two magazines, Progreso and Ido Vivo, are currently published in Ido. A specimen of Ido: Altestimata Siori! En la jurnalo di via urbo me lektis, ke vi serchas kontoristo, qua savas ultre la registrago anke la franca linguo ed Ido.

Ro

Ro was a philosophical language, i.e. a classificational, a priori language in which the first letters of a word indicate what category of meaning it falls into. For example, bofoc means red, bofod means orange, and bofof means yellow. As far as I've been able to determine, Ro became extinct shortly after its inventor died. A specimen of Ro (the Paternoster): Abze radap av el in suda, ace rokab eco sugem, ace rajda ec kep, ace va eco, uz in suda asi in buba.

Occidental/Interlingue

Edgar de Wahl (1867-1948), sometimes called Edgar von Wahl, was the creator of Occidental. After dabbling in Volapuk, Idiom Neutral and Esperanto, he designed a naturalistic language project called Auli in 1909. In 1922 he published his new system Occidental, which came to be known as Interlingue in 1947. The journal Cosmoglotta, written entirely in Occidental, published 269 editions from 1922 to 1972. In Internationale Plansprachen, Detlev Blanke estimated that the current number of Occidental/Interlingue enthusiasts is less than 100.

Novial

Very few planned languages have been designed by professional linguists. One of these few is Novial, offered in 1928 by the noted linguist Otto Jespersen (1860-1943). A sample of Novial: Un amiko de me kel had studia spesialim okulali kirurgia, examinid in un vespre men vidpovo e informad me ke lum esed totim non-interessant a lo, pro ke lum esed `normal.'

Interlingua

The word `interlingua' has many meanings in the constructed language milieu. It can refer to an intermediate `pivot language' used in a computerized translation system, or to any neutral third language used for communication between two parties. Peano's modified Latin language, Latino sine flexione, was also called Interlingua. The literature listed below deals with another language called Interlingua; it was created by Dr. Alexander Gode (1900-1970), partly based upon the research of the International Auxiliary Language Association, and partly upon Gode's own ideas about a `Standard Average European' language.

A specimen of Interlingua text, written by Gode: Io mantene que le idea de un lingua commun pro tote le humanitate, secundo le definition usual, es un conception false, e al plus solo utile a exponer, quasi in un museo, como exemplo de un certe typo de aberration intellectual in le qual nostre patres e nostre avos se perdeva a causa de lor appoiamento enthusiastics del positivismo rationalistic.

Interlinguistics

Glosa is loosely derived from Lancelot Hogben's Interglossa. The earliest version of Glosa was distinctive, consisting of 1000 Greek words taken from scientific terminology. Later versions of the Glosa vocabulary contain a mixture of Latin and Greek words, making Glosa look nearly identical to countless other pan-European language projects. A sample of Glosa text: Komo merca alo vendo u ciela, u kalori de u landa? Un idea perplexi na. (`How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us.')

Modified English

The English language already has some of the characteristics which many people consider desirable in an international auxiliary language, such as a relatively simple grammar and a vocabulary taken from diverse sources. Unfortunately, English also has its share of irregularities, particulary in its orthography (spelling). Many proposals have been published suggesting that English should be modified in various ways.

Latin and Modified Latin

After the fall of the Roman empire, Latin served as an international language throughout Europe for many centuries. It still does, to some extent, in the Catholic church. The Vatican reportedly publishes a dictionary called Lexicon Recentis Latinitas which gives modern Latin words for such things as `television' and `electricity.' Over the years, many proposals have been published advocating the use of Latin (original or simplified) as an international auxiliary language. Perhaps the most successful project of this type was Giuseppe Peano's `Latino sine flexione,' which enjoyed some popularity in the first half of the 20th century.

Pasigraphies and Number Languages

A `pasigraphy' is a scheme for conveying information by means of symbols such as ideograms or hieroglyphs. Some authors have believed that a pasigraphic system would make an ideal international language, although most schemes of this type only exist in written form; there is no way to converse in them. Also in this category are `number languages' which use numerals instead of sounds or symbols to convey information.

A Priori and Mixed Languages

A priori languages are those which do not borrow their vocabularies from existing languages, but rather invent words artificially to meet certain criteria. Philosphical languages are a priori projects in which the letters of a word indicate its category of meaning; for example, all words pertaining to liquids might begin with the letter L. Languages of the mixed type have a blend of a priori and a posteriori features.

The strength of these languages lies in their systematic methods of word creation and derivation. While many of the a posteriori languages are monotonously similar to each other, the a priori and mixed languages often show great creativity.
