Английская Википедия:Eurolengo
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox language Eurolengo is a constructed language invented by Leslie Jones in 1972.[1]Шаблон:RP It was constructed to be a common European language and "a practical tool for business and tourism."[1]Шаблон:RP[2]
The vocabulary consists of words borrowed from English and Spanish[3]Шаблон:RP and made to conform to a consistent phonetic and orthographic system. Critics find a Spanglish flavor to the language, and that "reading is only straightforward if the requisite languages (in this case English and Spanish) are already familiar."[1]Шаблон:RP
Auxiliary languages in general, and regional ones such as Eurolengo in particular, have had little support from the international community;[2] Eurolengo has never had any speakers.[4][5]
