There are linguists who believe that one basic language will eventually be discovered behind every language we now speak. There have been several attempts to create a one-world language. Esperanto is probably the best known. Invented in 1887 by a Pole called L.L. Zamanhoff, it was based on Romance language vocabulary and aimed to provide a universal second language. It has about a hundred speakers in fifty countries. Before Esperanto there was Volapuk, invented in 1879 by the German Johann Martin Schleyer. In 1928, there was Novial, invented by the Dane Otto Jespersen, and there has also been Interglingua in 1903.
