Encyclopedia > Delegation for the Adoption of an International Auxiliary Language

The Delegation for the Adoption of an International Auxiliary Language was a group of linguists who presented proposals for a revision of the Esperanto language in 1907. The resulting language became known as Ido.

Ido: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com (1032 words)
The request by the Delegation for the Adoption of an International Auxiliary Language to the International Association of Academies in Vienna to select an international language was rejected in May, 1907.
The Delegation, which had been founded by Louis Couturat[?], decided to meet as a Committee in Paris in October 1907 to discuss the adoption of a standard international language among the various competitors that had been devised up to that time.
Beaufront had himself argued for reforming Esperanto prior to having been selected to the Delegation, and during the proceedings he argued in favor of Esperanto over other languages; his "conversion" to the Ido camp upon the presentation of that language was thus consistent with his earlier positions.
