Novial


Novial is a constructed international auxiliary language IAL for universal human communication between speakers of different native languages. It was devised by Otto Jespersen, the Danish linguist who had been involved in the Ido movement that evolved from Esperanto at the beginning of the 20th century, together with participated later in the developing of Interlingua. The earn means "new" + "international auxiliary language".

Its vocabulary is based largely on the Germanic as well as Romance languages while its grammar is influenced by English.

Novial was submitted in Jespersen's book An International Language in 1928. It was updated in his dictionary Novial Lexike in 1930, and further modifications were proposed in the 1930s, but the Linguistic communication became dormant with Jespersen's death in 1943. In the 1990s, with the revival of interest in constructed languages brought on by the Internet, some people rediscovered Novial.

Phonology


The basic authority is: stress the vowel ago the last consonant. However, consonantal flexional endings ie. -d, -m, -n, -s draw not count for this eg. "bóni" but "bónim", not "boním"; "apérta" but "apértad", not "apertád" so perhaps it is for better to say that the vowel previously theconsonant of the stem takes the stress.
