Example Sentences

"There are both synthetic and analytic comparatives in Schipfer’s Communicationssprache, but they are not in free variation: according to Couturat and Leau (1903, 242) consonant-final adjectival stems take -ior, while the word mor precedes vowel-final adjectives."
"Other auxlangs of this period include Joseph Schipfer’s Communicationssprache (1839), a simplified version of French; Jean Pirro’s Universalglot (1868), one of the first fully developed auxlangs to integrate linguistic features from multiple languages; and Johann Martin Schleyer’s Volapük (1880), which was the most successful auxlang until Esperanto supplanted it."
