Lingwa de Planeta (abbreviated as LdP or Lidepla) is a new type of international language.
We believe that a global universal language, as a harmonious whole on the basis of most spoken national languages, will necessarily arise in a more or less distant future. Lidepla is a prototype of this future global interlanguage, based on our vision of its obligatory features.
Lingwa de Planeta is a neutral international auxiliary language based on the most widely spoken languages of the world, including English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Arabic, and Persian. We attach much importance to psychology: elements of one's own native language in a constructed language evoke positive emotions and increase greatly one's motivation to learn it. And we hope that the bulk of the planet's population may perceive Lidepla not only as neutral, but as a common language with a certain smack of their native tongues.
So the basic idea of Lidepla which distinguishes it from all the other projects is the idea
of an universal language inevitably arising;
that this will be an a posteriori language unifying 10-12 most spoken world languages and including many non-European elements.
