It was created in 1996 by Diego Marani, a translator for the European Council of Ministers in Brussels.

The single outstanding feature of Europanto is that there are no fixed rules -- merely a set of suggestions. This means that anybody can start to speak Europanto immediately, on the other hand it is the speaker's responsibility to draw on an assumed common vocabulary and grammar between himself and the audience, to make himself understood.

Effectively, Europanto as it is used tends to have a grammar much like English, with words borrowed from various languages and adapted to be easily understood. It is sometimes considered a parody of the international auxiliary language genre, particularly the "Euroclone" variety, namely their preceived tendency to very strongly formalize speech, and impose strict, but arbitrary rules on it. Grammar is the study of rules governing the use of language. ... In contemporary usage, parody is a form of satire that imitates another work of art in order to ridicule it. ...
