Abstract
RECENT references to international languages in NATURE bring home the necessity of a more thorough inquiry into their possibilities, and into the causes that have so far precluded their wide use. There can now be no doubt that artificial international languages have been constructed that can be learnt in a very small fraction of the time required by any natural language. In spite of this, their anticipated use in international communication has not become general.
