Academia pro Interlingua

The Academia pro Interlingua was an organization dedicated to the promotion of international auxiliary languages, and is associated in particular with Prof. Giuseppe Peano's language Latino sine flexione (Latin without flexions).

The "Academia" was a descendant of the "Kadem bevünetik volapüka" (International Academy of Volapük) created at a Volapük congress in Munich in August 1887. Under Waldemar Rosenberger, who became the director in 1892, this group had transformed Volapük into Idiom Neutral and changed its name to "Akademi Internasional de Lingu Universal" in 1898.

When the "Akademi" effectively chose to abandon Idiom Neutral in favor of Latino sine flexione in 1908, it elected Peano as its director, and the name of the group was changed to "Academia pro Interlingua" since "Interlingua" was an alternative name for Peano's language.

Today the name "Interlingua" most often refers to a different language presented in 1951 by the International Auxiliary Language Association. In the United States, the "Academia pro Interlingua in America" now promotes this newer Interlingua.

The original "Academia pro Interlingua" survived until about 1939.
