Re: [glosalist] Introduction

     Despite all this, Glosa was developed because there is a  very real problem with language: most people are only ever fluent in  their native tongue.  And this was the reasoning behind Glosa's  formation: It was planned to be a language that the vast majority of  humanity could learn to use, at least functionally.

     Maybe you will be around when our leaders decide to adopt an  International Auxillary Language (IAL).

     If so, you could find your education and interests helpful  in working with the project.
     Have you heard of the Distributed Language Translation  Project  (DLT, 1972)?  There was an attempt to make Esperanto the  pivot language in a computer translation research project; the  version of Eo used was supposed to be both computer readable and  humanly readable.  Things didn't quite work out, however, and the  funding was stopped.  The idea was to have all documents stored and  transmitted around the system, only coming out as a national language  at the output terminal, the information previously having been input  into the system at another terminal that converted a different  national language into the "distributed language".
     It was my belief that the project would have been completed  satisfactorily had the pivot language been Glosa.
