An international auxiliary language (usually abbreviated as IAL or auxlang) is a language created with the intention of being used for communication between people who do not share a common native language. There are many auxlangs, and they run the gamut between being successful (having a community of speakers) Esperanto and being nearly forgotten (having no speakers, such as Afrihili).

Most auxlangs are a posteriori conlangs, however a very few have been a priori.
