*’UNION’ FOR THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE ‘IDO’*
.
*”ido” is a ‘constructed language’ created to be a ‘universal second language’ for speakers of diverse backgrounds*
.
(‘ido’ was specifically designed to be [‘grammatically’ / ‘orthographically’ / ‘lexicographically’] regular, and above all easy to learn and use)
(in this sense, ‘ido’ is classified as a ‘constructed international auxiliary language’)
(it is the most successful of many ‘esperanto derivatives’, called ‘esperantidos’)
(‘ido’ was created in 1907 out of a desire to reform perceived flaws in ‘esperanto’, a language that had been created for the same purpose 20 years earlier)
(the name of the language traces its origin to the esperanto word ido, meaning “offspring”, since the language is a “descendant” of ‘esperanto’)
(after its inception, ‘ido’ gained support from some in the ‘esperanto community’, but following the death in 1914 of one of its most influential proponents – ‘louis couturat’ – it declined in popularity)
(there were 2 reasons for this: first, the emergence of further schisms arising from competing reform projects; and second, a general lack of awareness of Ido as a candidate for an international language)
(these obstacles weakened the movement and it was not until the rise of ‘the internet’ that it began to regain momentum)
(‘ido’ uses the same 26 letters as the english (latin) alphabet with no ‘diacritics’)
(it draws its vocabulary from ‘French’, ‘Italian’, ‘Spanish’, ‘English’, ‘German’, and ‘Russian’, and is largely intelligible to those who have studied ‘esperanto’)
(several works of literature have been translated into ‘ido’, including The Little Prince and the ‘gospel of luke’)
(as of the year ‘2000’, there were approximately 100 – 200 ‘ido speakers’ in the world
