@akjcv typically colonized peoples are trying to preserve or promote their national languages and character, not efface them in favour of international community, so an IAL is not a high priority

unless you scope “international” smaller; there are pan-African languages, e·g Afrihili, for example, but they are only targeting pan-African community, not international community

an exception is the Baháʼí people, who want an internationally spoken language for religious reasons. but i think they might just advocate English

@akjcv you could possibly make an argument that Modern Standard Arabic is an IAL if you want; i don’t know why you would want an IAL if you know MSA
