IALA | 1951 |
Interlingua is an international auxiliary language developed and promoted by the International Auxiliary Language Association (IALA). The language is a naturalistic IAL based on common vocabulary found in Romance languages (namely French, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese) and Latin-influenced non-Romance languages (namely English and, to a lesser degree, German and Russian).
Phonology
The phonology of Interlingua was described in 1951 by Alexander Gode and Hugh Blair in the IALA publication A Grammar of Interlingua.[1]
