Eurolengo is a constructed language invented by Leslie Jones in 1972.[1]: 156 It was constructed to be a common European language and "a practical tool for business and tourism."[1]: 154 [2]
The vocabulary consists of words borrowed from English and Spanish[3]: 1 and made to conform to a consistent phonetic and orthographic system. Critics find a Spanglish flavor to the language, and that "reading is only straightforward if the requisite languages (in this case English and Spanish) are already familiar."[1]: 157
Auxiliary languages in general, and regional ones such as Eurolengo in particular, have had little support from the international community;[2] Eurolengo has never had any speakers.[4][5]
