But I admit - International auxiliary langauges have a problem, firstly in the number of speakers and secondly in the number of good speakers. In less democratic societies the IAL's have their chance, as they are regarded, correctly, by the regimes as innocent. In a capitalist or democratic society the media are a crowded market where the IAL movement will drown in the general noise. So the IAL that will be successfull must help you in studing and maintaining the big European languages (as to cultural significance). Those IAL's that cannot manage this will disappear). They must also offer a tangible alternative to English and other big euroclones like Spanish, Portugese and French. Kjell R
