2. Glosa, an International Auxiliary Language
Glosa is an international auxiliary language.
There are many drafts of international auxiliary languages, but Glosa is the
most advanced one with no grammatical endings on the words (linguists call
that an “isolating” structure). It is designed by Ronald Clark and Wendy
Ashby and goes back to Lancelot Hogben’s Interglossa (1943).
From The Glosa Basic Reference (by Ron Clark and Wendy Ashby, 1994):
Glosa is an artificial language intended for use among people with different
native, cultural, or national languages. It is an auxiliary language and has no
purpose of supplanting or replacing any other languages. Its purpose is only
to be a common means of communication for people of different languages.
Glosa has several distinguishing characteristics:
• Its structure is very simple and based on semantics. It is an analytical
language with no inflexions, genders, or diacritical marks. Glosa does
have ways of forming plurals, tenses, questions, etc., similar to Chinese
and Malay, which use a word for each idea, but no inflections. A small
number of words handle grammatical relationships not otherwise pro-
vided for. Many Glosa words can serve as more than one part of speech
as meaning and common sense allow.
• Glosa words are based on Latin and Greek roots common to the chief
Euro-languages; via science, technology, and medicine, these words are
penetrating all languages. Although a larger vocabulary is available, a
base vocabulary of between 1000 and 2000 words handles most situa-
tions.
• Its pronunciation is simple and regular, and its spelling is phonetic.
• Above all, Glosa is neutral. Because it is no one’s own language, it is
available to everyone without jealousy or resentment over the dominance
of any one or a few national languages. Its use of Latin and Greek roots,
many of which are already in widespread use, gives it internationality.

4. About this dictionary
Sources for the words have been several publications by Ronald Clark
and Wendy Ashby, c Glosa Education Organization (GEO, P. O. Box
18, Richmond Surrey TW9 1WD, UK), namely “Glosa Basic Reference”,
“English - Glosa 1000”, “English - Glosa 1000 classified”, “Glosa 6000”,
“18 Steps to Fluency in Euro-Glosa” (Glosa-English list), “Central Glosa”
(lists “5000 English to Glosa 1000” and “Useful Prefixes”), “Francais -¸

dence with Glosa author Wendy Ashby.
The Glosa Internet Dictionary has three levels.
• “Mega”/“Literary”-dictionary (large) = all words.
• “Basi”/“Basic”-dictionary (middle): its words are marked with “+” (or
“++”).
• “Centra”/“Core”-dictionary (small, = only most useful “Basi”-words):
words are marked with “++”.
Suggestion: prefer ++, then +.
Further abbreviations:
“G” marks Glosa words with Greek origin.
“1” marks Glosa 1000 words (words, that appear in one of the several
Glosa-1000-lists).
“*” marks a word not original GEO (Clark/Ashby).
“1*” means only a slight modification from a Glosa-1000-word.
“X”-words should be avoided. The prefered synonym is in brackets (=...).
and: adj adjective, n noun, v verb.
