Are there any IAL attempts by people or governments from colonized nations that folks find particularly interesting or compelling? Europe has several (Esperanto, Interlingua, Latino sine flexione etc.) but uhhhh yeah
@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
@Lady ooh that's a really interesting point!
