Neo (constructed language)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neo is an international auxiliary language created by Arturo Alfandari in 1961. It is notable for its terseness, which exceeds that of English or any IAL of the a priori type. Grammatically, it suggests the influence of Ido or Esperanto. Nonetheless, it shares some features with naturalistic IALs like Interlingua and Occidental, such as a plural -s and natural-appearing pronouns. Neo attracted some interest in the circle around the International Language Review, a periodical for IAL proponents, but the progress of the language was cut short by the death of its author in the mid-1960s.

- Na Patro ki sar in cel,
- siu ta nom santat.
- Venu ta regno.
- Siu fat ta vol,
- asben in cel, as on ter.
- Na shakida pan ne diu oje.
- E ne pardonu na debos,
- as nos pardonar na deberos.
- E no ne induku in tentado,
- mo ne fridu da mal.
