Glosanoun
a constructed language intended to be used as a means of communication of, and between, the global scientific community
Etymology: Lancelot Hogben of Great Britain, published the "Interglossa" language in 1943. With Hogben's permission, Ronald Clark and Wendy Ashby began refining Interglossa, but Hobgen died in 1975. Clark and Ashby then decided to rename the language Glosa (because any changes that they made could not be approved by Hogben) for their publication of the new material in 1978.
Wikipedia
Glosa
Glosa is a constructed international auxiliary language based on Interglossa (a previous draft of an auxiliary published in 1943). The first Glosa dictionary was published 1978. The name of the language comes from the Greek root glossa meaning tongue or language. Glosa is an isolating language, which means that words never change form, and Glosa spelling is also completely regular and phonetic. As an isolating language, there are no inflections, so that words always remain in their dictionary form, no matter what function they have in the sentence. Consequently, grammatical functions, when not clear from the context, are taken over by a small number of operator words and by the use of word order (syntax). Being an a posteriori language, Glosa takes most of its vocabulary from Greek and Latin roots, seen by the authors as international in a sense by their usage in science.
