Constructed language (Vegetarian World)

A constructed language, or conlang for short, is a language that has been created by a person or a group of people instead of having evolved naturally. There are many types of constructed languages, but they tend to fall into two categories - naturalistic and schematic. Naturalistic languages are more likely to be called planned languages because the word planning implies more of taking things from natural languages and combining and/or modifying them in some way. Schematic languages are those which, while they may share certain root words with other languages, are built from the ground up.

Interlingua
Interlingua is by far the most popular and widely-spoken constructed language on the planet, and is one of only two commonly accepted ...the other one being English. Although not an official language of any nation, it is known as a secondary language by over 100 million people, and generally understood by a larger number - i.e. most speakers of a Romance language. In addition, it is a mandatory subject in many schools around the world, particularly in and countries of eastern  and.

Interlingua took Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, French, and English as the bases from which the vocabulary and grammar would be taken, along with German and Russian as secondary references. Through a scientific process, words common to the most primary languages would be taken, with the secondary languages being used when a good choice was not apparent. As such, Interlingua is firmly a Romance language - very similar to a pared-down Latin. Unlike Latin and all other Romance languages, however, Interlingua's grammar system is simple and highly regular. While most other Romance languages conjugate verbs for the "I", "you", "it", "we", "you (both/all)", and "they" forms (like "I go", "She goes"), Interlingua only has a single form for them all (as would be with "I go", "She go"). All tenses follow similar rules (as English would be with "I goed" instead of "I went". This makes learning Interlingua much easier than learning any other Romance language.

Interlingua only came about in the middle of the 20th century. However, there were various similar constructed languages in use before that time, such as Occidental. Since its creation, it has been a major tool in the communication between different groups of Romance language speakers, as well as between these speakers and English speakers. In fact, mostly owing to the various loan words English received over time, a knowledgeable English speaker can understand a good bit of Interlingua at first glance, and most can learn the language in only a fraction of the time that it would take to learn Spanish, Italian, or the languages from which it was created. On top of this, once Interlingua is learned, it is easy to read most texts in these other languages.
