Almost all of these " esperantido " s were stillborn, but the very first, Ido (" Offspring "), had significant success for several years.

A committee organised by Louis Couturat in Paris proposes the Ido reform project, which provides significant competition for Esperanto until the First World War.

The only ones with any significant number of speakers are Ido, an Esperanto reform, and Interlingua, an independent " naturalistic " creation that aims to be intelligible without study to a European polyglot.

Two other studies by the same researchers suggest no significant overall difference in difficulty of learning between Esperanto and Ido for educated American adults, but the sample sizes were again small: in the two tests combined, only 32 test subjects studied Ido.

At first a number of leading Esperantists put their support behind the Ido project, but the movement stagnated and declined, first with the accidental death of one of its main proponents and later as people proposed further changes, and the number of current speakers is estimated at between 250 and 5000.

So the US number 12, 345, 678. 90123 for instance, would be written 12. 345. 678, 90123 in Ido.

Ido () is a language created to be a universal second language for speakers of diverse backgrounds.

As of the year 2000, there were approximately 100 – 200 Ido speakers in the world.

Among Esperanto speakers there was a general impression that the Delegation would of course choose Esperanto, as it was the only auxlang with a sizable speaker community at the time ; it was felt as a betrayal by many Esperanto speakers when in 1907 the Delegation came up with its own reformed version of Esperanto, Ido.

The most prosperous were Volapük ( 1879, Johann Martin Schleyer ), Esperanto ( 1887 Ludwik Lejzer Zamenhof ), Latino sine flexione ( 1903, Giuseppe Peano ), Ido ( 1907, Louis Couturat ), Occidental-Interlingue ( 1922, Edgar de Wahl ) and Interlingua ( 1951, IALA and Alexander Gode ), with Esperanto being the only one still gathering a considerable community of active speakers today.

However, Ido's digraphs are more recognizable to speakers of Romance languages and its avoidance of diacritics guarantees that any computer system that supports English could easily be used for Ido.

Based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, its main functions are the propagation of the language, arranging the yearly conferences in which Ido speakers gather, and the publishing of the magazine Progreso ( progress ), begun in 1908 by Louis Couturat, one of the founders of the movement who died in 1914.

After its inception, Ido gained support from some in the Esperanto community, but following the sudden death in 1914 of one of its most influential proponents, Louis Couturat, it declined in popularity.

There were two reasons for this: first, the emergence of further schisms arising from competing reform projects ; and second, a general lack of awareness of Ido as a candidate for an international language.

This, along with World War I, practically suspended the activities of the Ido Academy from 1914 to 1920.

His defection from the Ido movement set it back even further.

It ranks among the top three most widely used IALs ( after Esperanto and perhaps Ido ), and is the most widely used naturalistic IAL: in other words, its vocabulary, grammar and other characteristics are largely derived from natural languages.

Early on in the story, Daisuke Ido, a bounty-hunting cybernetic doctor who finds and revives Alita plays a major role as well, but midway through the manga he becomes marginalized as focus begins to increasingly shift to Desty Nova, an eccentric nanotechnology scientist who has fled from Tiphares.

This is a feature that distinguishes Wenedyk from all natural Romance languages and also from other Romance-based constructed languages languages like Esperanto and Ido.

René de Saussure ( brother of linguist Ferdinand de Saussure ) published numerous Esperantido proposals, starting with a response to Ido later called Antido 1 (" Anti-Ido 1 ") in 1907, which increasingly diverged from Esperanto before finishing with a more conservative Esperanto II in 1937.

Antonymic roots such as tarde for malfrue " late " and poke for malmulte " few " are used today in Esperanto poetry, though they resemble Ido and Esperanto may have acquired them from that language.

I immediately realized that that project was completely non-conforming to the spirit of Esperanto, whose remarkable flexibility Ido destroyed through a logical derivational system too rigid for everyday use of the spoken and written language, and from that day I began to refute the claims of Ido in the International Science Journal.

Some of the proposed reforms from 1894 such as replacing the-oj plural with-i, the removal of the diacritics and adjectival agreement were used in the language reform project Ido beginning in 1907, but these were not accepted by the Esperanto community either and Esperanto has changed relatively little since the publication of Zamenhof's Fundamento de Esperanto in 1905.

Things That Hang from Trees is a 2006 drama film, directed by Ido Mizrahy and written by Aaron Louis Tordini.

He has appeared in numerous feature films with the likes of Jack Nicholson, Shirley MacLaine, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey ( K-Pax ), Al Pacino ( People I Know and Denzel Washington ; and with directors Woody Allen ( The Curse of the Jade Scorpion, Hollywood Ending ), Mike Nichols ( Wolf and Charlie Wilson's War ), James Ivory ( Surviving Picasso ), Steven Spielberg ( War of the Worlds ), Ido Mizrahy ( Things That Hang from Trees ), Spike Lee ( Inside Man ), and with Clint Eastwood he was Dr. Tarr in Changeling.

Ido was invented in the early 20th century after a schism between those who believed that Esperanto was almost good enough, were it not for inherent features seen by them as flaws that prevented it from being a suitable proposal of international auxiliary language, and those who believed that Esperanto was sufficient as it was, and that endless tinkering with a language would only weaken it in the end.

Modern Esperanto has received some influence from Ido in areas such as a clarification of the rules for word derivation and suffixes like-oz-(" abundant in ") and-end-(" required to ").

Both in Ido and in Esperanto, each word is built from a root word.

However, Ido has proven to be a rich source of Esperanto vocabulary.

Ido was created in 1907 out of a desire to reform perceived flaws in Esperanto, a language that had been created for the same purpose 20 years earlier.

In the end the Committee concluded that no language was completely acceptable, but that Esperanto could be accepted " on condition of several modifications to be realized by the permanent Commission in the direction defined by the conclusions of the Report of the Secretaries Couturat and Léopold Leau and by the Ido project.

Esperanto's inventor, L. L. Zamenhof, had suggested in an 1894 proposition for a Reformed Esperanto several changes that Ido adopted: eliminating the accented letters and the accusative case, changing the plural to an Italianesque-i, and replacing the table of correlatives with more Latinate words.

Furthermore, controversy ensued when the " Ido project " was found to have been primarily devised by Louis de Beaufront, who represented Esperanto before the Committee.

It is estimated that 20 % of the Esperanto leaders and 3-4 % of the ordinary Esperantists defected to Ido.

In its early years, IALA concerned itself with three tasks: finding other organizations around the world with similar goals ; building a library of books about languages and interlinguistics ; and comparing extant IALs, including Esperanto, Esperanto II, Ido, Peano ’ s Interlingua ( Latino sine flexione ), Novial, and Interlingue ( Occidental ).

To that point, much of the debate had been equivocal on the decision to use naturalistic ( e. g., Peano ’ s Interlingua, Novial and Occidental ) or systematic ( e. g., Esperanto and Ido ) words.

He also provides a critical overview of the history of constructed IALs with sections devoted to Volapük, Esperanto, Idiom Neutral, Ido, Latino sine Flexione and Occidental ( Interlingue ).

Coupled with a simplified grammar, this made Occidental exceptionally popular in Europe during the 15 years before World War II, and it is believed that it was at its height the fourth most popular planned language, after Volapük, Esperanto and perhaps Ido in order of appearance.

Volapük was largely displaced in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, specifically by Esperanto, Ido and Interlingua.

Often, the phrase is used to refer to planned or constructed languages proposed specifically to ease worldwide international communication, such as Esperanto, Ido and Interlingua.

A wide variety of other auxlangs were devised and proposed in the 1880s-1900s, but none except Esperanto gathered a speaker community until Ido.

The three most spoken international auxiliary languages, Ido, Esperanto, and Interlingua all use the comma as the official radix point, or decimal point.

Searight created Sona as a response to the Eurocentricity of other artificial auxiliary languages of his time, such as Esperanto and Ido.
