Bray's article contains an overview of the history of International Languages. It is here not as a reference for Interlingua, but to support the assertion that Universalglot was the first modern International Language.--Chris 21:08, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Possible, Chris, but I don't have your opinion - I did see that the Interlingua guy's try to rename Interlingue into Occidental and try a disgusting domination on the category pages in the best Esperanto manier ;-) . Please let the pages from Universalglot, Interlingue and Solresol clean! ok? 62.134.177.250 21:40, 6 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And now in English, please. -- Dissident (Talk) 15:31, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excuse me, but it would be nice to have some indication of what the sentences and lists of forms mean, for those of us who do not speak this language.

Flag of Universalglot[edit]

I have created an original SVG image as a possible flag of Universalglot. I have inspected the Novial page for a reference to the history of the creation and adoption of its flag, but have been unable to determine how it attained its official status. So far as I can tell that flag has no historical basis; it was arbitrarily chosen a few years ago and attached to the page and it just stuck since. Since I don't want to just upload anything like that on a whim, I thought to run it by anyone who monitors this page and get their opinion on the matter.

I don't know anything about the Novial flag, but in general I don't think it is a good idea to assign flags posthumously to historical language projects that aren't in use anymore. Ultimately it all boils down to sources, though. If for example the author of the language described his idea of a flag, then there's nothing wrong with working it out and adding it to the article. If there is some kind of body responsible for the language that made an official decision about a flag, same thing. If there is an active user community that decided to adopt a flag and there are independent sources to confirm this, same thing. However, if it is merely a proposal or a personal project, then I don't think Wikipedia is the right place for submitting it. On a sidenote, I've never understood why a constructed language that is never of hardly ever used would need a flag at all. —IJzeren Jan _Uszkiełtu? 01:06, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of numbers by Johannes Hendrik van Steenbergen[edit]

Can you say why you removed them [1], [2]? 92.227.38.131 (talk) 17:29, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The burden of evidence lies with the person who wants something added, not with those who disagree with the addition. But since you ask... Just take ten random articles about languages where the alphabet is given. And then tell me: is there even a single one where the letters are numbered? Most probably not. And the reason for that is simply that mapping letters with numbers is neither customary nor needed. What use is there for anybody to know that the letter R is the 19th letter in the alphabet of Universalglot? So please tell us why you think letters ought to be numbered? —IJzeren Jan _Uszkiełtu? 20:39, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
