Universalglot is an ''a posteriori'' international auxiliary language published by the French linguist Jean Pirro in 1868 in ''Tentative d'une langue universelle, Enseignement, grammaire, vocabulaire''. Preceding Volapük by a decade and Esperanto by nearly 20 years, Universalglot has been called the first "complete auxiliary-language system based on the common elements in national languages".〔Bray, Mary Connell. "Introduction" in Alexander Gode et al. ''Interlingua-English: a dictionary of the international language.'' Storm Publishers, New York, 1951. ((read online ))〕 In his book describing his own language project Novial, Otto Jespersen praised the language, writing that it is "one to which I constantly recur with the greatest admiration, because it embodies principles which were not recognized till much later".〔Jespersen, Otto, PhD., Litt.D., LL.D. ''( An International Language )'' 1928〕 Pirro gave it more than 7,000 basic words and numerous prefixes, enabling the development of a very extensible vocabulary. == Alphabet == This language uses 26 letters: * "w" and "y" are not used. * a "Σ/σ" is used instead of "sh". * a "Ü/ü" is used for German "Ü/ü" (or French "U/u") The letters whose pronunciation differs from their pronunciation in English are: *"c" is like "ts", "j" is like "y", "q" is like "kw" *"a", "e", "i", "o", "u" are pronounced as in Italian or Spanish. Vowel combinations are pronounced separately. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Universalglot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
