An international auxiliary language is an auxiliary language for communication between nations. A common example of an IAL is Esperanto; a more regional (or zonal) example is Interslavic.
The use and discussion of IALs have grown as a response to the controversial use of the English language and French language as auxiliary languages. These languages have colonial history and have been imposed on native populations. English also has a high diffuclty, on par with Mandarin.[1]
History
Emergence
IALs began to notably emerge during the 1870s, when imperialism began to develop. The first notable IAL to develop was Volapük as it had a vast community; however it split due to the creator's lack of criticism. It was eventually displaced by Esperanto.
Socialist Use
IALs began to be used by socialists and communists in the 1900s[2][3] to be able to communicate among language barriers and better implement proletarian internationalism.
In 1920 the Communist International created an Esperanto section and Ido section after some requests.
Some worker cooperatives, such as Interhelpo, used IALs to ease communication with people who learned different national languages.
Oppression
IALs were banned in Nazi Germany after a June 6 1936 decree, targeting Esperanto, to defend bourgeois nationalism.[4]
