Subject: Glossa? (was Re: artificial languages)

I recieved the following note from a colleaugue and thought that someone

here in sci.lang may have heard of Glossa:

Our patron recently watched THIS WEEK IN PROPHECY on local cable channel

14 (Trinity Broadcasting Network). There was a guest on the show named Peter

LaLond, who spoke about a language that was invented during WW2 called

"Glossa". This language was invented to help people from various countries

with different languages communicate in one universal language with each

other.

Due to the current economic climate in Europe, those countries are moving

toward using a universal language. The language that they wish to use is

"Glossa" since it "supposedly" exists and can be learned very quickly. The

patron said the speaker said that it could be learned in two weeks.

Our patron wants to find out if "Glossa" really does exist and any other

information about it. Ideally, she was interested in the documentation

available to learn this language.

I am looking for citations, books, etc.

Either posted or e-mailed responses would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Larry Gainor
