- Eurolengo
Eurolengo is a constructed language invented by Leslie Jones with the intention of it becoming a common international language. The vocabulary consists of words borrowed from English and Spanish and made to conform to a consistent phonetic and orthographic system.
The Eurolengo alphabet is almost the same as the English alphabet, except there is no
C , but the Ch digraph is treated as a letter.Like most constructed languages, Eurolengo aims to eliminate certain ambiguous or difficult traits many natural languages have. Eurolengo does not do this with the thoroughness of
Esperanto orLojban , but allows natural variation, as withInterlingua orOccidental . To give two examples: silentE 's are allowed at the end of words; the words for the numbers eleven and twelve are not formed in the same way as those for 13 to 19.References
