Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Dictionary Of Ro, The World Language offers a rare, lucid window into an inventor's attempt to make a single, usable tongue for international exchange. A tongue designed for all. Part reference and part experiment, this constructed language dictionary functions as a world language reference and a practical language learning resource: entries present vocabulary with notes on usage, and a concise vocabulary and grammar guide explains the rules that shape Ro's logic. It reads as an intellectual artefact - definitions delivered with purpose, an ordered approach to meaning that reveals the author's method as much as his lexicon. That combination of exactness and idealism makes the work rewarding both to the curious reader and to anyone seeking a systematic way into an unfamiliar tongue.Born amid early 20th century linguistics and the wider global language movement, Ro occupies a distinct place among international auxiliary language projects and represents one strand in the debate over esperanto alternatives and later interlingua comparison. Its significance is historical and pedagogical: a document of language invention history that offers linguistics students first-hand material and comparative scholars a useful lens. The book shines as both a cultural document and a working tool; modern polyglots, translators and language historians will find it a thought-provoking polyglot reference tool that rewards comparative study. Casual readers attracted to intellectual curiosities will enjoy its period voice, while classic-literature collectors will value its provenance in the story of modern language-making. Scholars tracing the arc of planned languages will find Ro an instructive waypoint for comparison with better-known schemes. Its pages repay close reading: the juxtaposition of methodical vocabulary and stated aims offers a compact story of hope, debate and method among language inventors.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.…
