Occidental (Interlingue) - Conlang Profile	Advanced
Language Name Occidental Language Author Edgar von Wahl Year Began 1922 Site Occidental - site 1 Occidental - site 2 Occidental - site 3 Occidental - site 4 Occidental - site 5 Broken Link No Site Language English, German, Interlingue, Russian Language Type international auxiliary language Editorial An international language using a Romance vocabulary, intended almost solely for Western speakers. The language is so naturalistic that Don Harlow says, "a linguist unfamiliar with it might be forgiven for assuming it to be a minor Romance dialect that had grown up after the collapse of Rome." Inspired by Mundo-Lingue, Occidental itself served as an inspiration for Novial. Design Principles Unlike many IALs, which have a very spartan tone, Occidental was created to seem as 'natural' in usage as possible. This allows for some comprimises not seen in most IALs (such as allowing for 'hard' and 'soft' pronunciations of C and G).
