Annotation

This paper deals with imaginary, ideal, 'universal' languages and their inventors, from the scientifically underpinned quest for an ideal language to more realistic universal-language schemes of the 19th-mid 20th centuries with Zamenhof and his epigones, Esperanto, Volapük, Ido and others and ultimately, to the idea of an international language.
