Name: Interlingue Alternate Name: Occidental Code: ile Code Authority: ISO 639-3 Code Standard: LINGUIST List Families: Constructed Language Family Parent Subgroup: Constructed Languages; Artificial language (clan) Brief Description: Interlingue (Occidental) was invented in the 1920's by an Estonian, Edgar von Wahl/de Wahl who was dissatisfied with the Esperanto movement, feeling that the language was not Western enough. Interlingue diverges from its predecessors in that it is based essentially on Romance grammatical patterns, and is not entirely regular, in that -- as in natural languages -- more than one suffix can serve the same role.
