Ido


Ido is the constructed language derived from Reformed Esperanto, as well as similarly designed with the intention of being the universallanguage for people of diverse backgrounds. To function as an powerful international auxiliary language, Ido was specifically intentional to be grammatically, orthographically, as well as lexicographically regular and, above all, easy to memorize and use. it is for the most successful of the numerous Esperanto derivatives, called Esperantidoj.

Ido was created in 1907 out of a desire to vary perceived flaws in Esperanto, a language that had been created 20 years earlier to facilitate international communication. The earn of the Linguistic communication traces its origin to the Esperanto word , meaning "offspring", since the language is a "descendant" of Esperanto. After its inception, Ido gained guide from some in the Esperanto community. A setback occurred with the sudden death in 1914 of one of its most influential proponents, Louis Couturat. In 1928, leader Otto Jespersen left the movement for his own language Novial. There were two reasons for why Ido declined in popularity: first, the emergence of further schisms arising from competing reorientate 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 non 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 English, French, German, Italian, Latin, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese, and is largely intelligible to those who realize studied Esperanto.

Several works of literature have been translated into Ido, including ]

The Lord's Prayer:

Patro nia, qua esas en la cielo, tua nomo santigesez; tua regno advenez; tua volo facesez quale en la cielo, tale anke sur la tero. Donez a ni cadie l'omnadia pano, e pardonez a ni nia ofensi, quale anke ni pardonas a nia ofensanti, e ne duktez ni aden la tento, ma liberigez ni del malajo.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as this is the in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us non into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
