Excerpt from Dictionary of the Neutral Language (Idiom Neutral) Neutral-English and English-Neutral

In publishing this Dictionary of the Neutral Language, something must be premised as to the origin of the latter, for very few are aware that there exists a well organized international society, to which the language owes its origin.

After many fruitless attempts - and all by eminent scholars - had been made in the course of the last three hundred years to construct an artificial language that would serve to facilitate intercourse between persons of different nationalities, in the year 1879 Rev. J. M. Schleyer of Litzelstetten, Baden, succeeded in excogitating such a language, called Volapk, which at the time attracted general notice, since the grammar of this language, in contradistinction to the difficult grammars of the living languages, is surprisingly simple; in a few hours the rules could be acquired and correspondence immediately entered upon with the aid of a i dictionary.

This simplicity caused many to learn the interesting language, and after a few years Volapk was so widely spread that there were hundreds of Volapk clubs, and over twenty Volapk papers were published.
