Auxlangs?

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

Auxlangs?

Post by Bryan »

I know auxlangs are not popular in the conlanging community. But in any case, I am working on auxlangs as well as artlangs. Therefore:

Care to share (1) your own auxlangs or (2) other auxlangs you love?

I'm particularly looking for less well known examples; we all know about Esperanto et al. It's for research purposes for my own auxlangs ANX to share ideas on what makes a good auxlang.

Cheers,

Bryan

I read that Ill Bethisad has some altauxlangs. These are not really described anywhere, but it is mentioned that ATL Esperanto is heavily based on Wenedyk (I forget where I read that) and that it might be for Romance speakers only, rather than as a world IAL (I'm not sure about consensus). InterTurkic is a somewhat used zonal language in Central Asia. Latino Sine Inflexione is the language of science rather than our world's New Latin. A large amount of extremely minor IALs based on various languages, especially European ones, exist in IB. Volapük is more popular than IB. Unified Micronesian was a failed political attempt to unite a country by an auxlang. However, outside of Latino Sine Inflexione and InterTurkic, auxlangs are even less successful in IB than in real life.
I plan to make a zonal language in my conworld, but there is only developed conlang in its zone so far.
