An international auxiliary language is an auxiliary language for communication between nations. A common example of an IAL is Esperanto.

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 wide community; however it split due to the creator's lack of criticism. It was eventually displaced by Esperanto.

Oppression

IALs were banned in Nazi Germany after a June 6 1936 decree, targeting Esperanto, due to reactionary nationalism.[1]
