About This Book

The text proposes a simplified international auxiliary built from Latin by removing inflectional endings and streamlining grammatical categories; it explains replacing cases with prepositions and particles, omitting gender and number unless specified, and rendering verbs essentially invariable by using fixed stems with particles for person, mood, and tense. It provides vocabulary selection and derivation rules, pronunciation conventions drawn from Romance and Germanic usages, syntactic examples, and a concise history of contact languages as rationale. Practical formation guidelines and sample phrases illustrate the reduced morphology and the aim of regular, easily learned expression.

Giuseppe Peano

Giuseppe Peano was an influential Italian mathematician and logician, best known for his work in mathematical logic and the foundations of mathematics. He made significant contributions to the development of symbolic logic and is recognized for his efforts to promote a universal language for mathematics. One of his notable works is "De Latino sine Flexione; Principio de Permanentia," where he explores the idea of a simplified version of Latin to facilitate clearer communication in mathematical discourse. Peano's legacy includes the Peano axioms, which form a foundational system for the natural numbers, highlighting his impact on both mathematics and logic.
