British Interlingua Society

British Interlingua Society

The British Interlingua Society (BIS; in Interlingua, Societate Britannic pro Interlingua), established in 1956, works in Great Britain and the English-speaking world to promote the knowledge and active use of Interlingua, the international language. Among the publications of the BIS is the transatlantic magazine "Lingua e Vita", with articles in English and Interlingua. It has appeared since 1965, and previously as the "Littera Circular" or "Circular Letter". A second BIS publication is "Contacto". Founded in 1994, this magazine provides articles and regular features about Interlingua and the organization. Contacto is written in English and in parallel Interlingua-English texts.
