Lingwa de Planeta (abbreviations: Lidepla, LdP) is a planned language project presented in 2006 by a group from Saint Petersburg. During a conference in Saint Petersburg on June 1, 2010, the so-called Basic Edition of LdP (set of rules) was established as binding and unchangeable. Lidepla is based on the vocabulary of the most widely spoken languages on earth: English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Arabic and Persian and focuses on spoken use. New vocabulary is evaluated and recorded according to principles of prosody. Bilingual dictionaries in various language combinations are available.
Idea
The authors of this language project are convinced that in the future a world language of communication will emerge, which will combine features of the most widespread languages. Lingwa de Planeta is understood as a prototype of such a language.
By including the important non-European languages, an attempt is made to take account of the principle of neutrality. The inclusion of elements from many national languages is seen as an important psychological factor which will improve the acceptance of such a language. All language elements are based on natural languages, with the original form largely retained. Neither are words invented, nor are those from dead languages revived.
Project Team
The project leader and founder of the language is psychologist Dmitry Ivanov [:ru:Дмитрий Иванов]. Linguists Asya Vinogradova [:ru:Ася Виноградова] and Yelena Ivanova [:ru:Елена Иванова] supported the development of Lidepla in its initial stages. Anastasija Lyssenko [:ru:Анастасия Лысенко] joined the group in 2007 and became the main linguist of the project.
