The auxiliary language Interglossa was devised by the scientist Lancelot Hogben while the empty hours of fire-watching in Aberdeen (Scotland) during World War II. It appears to be a straightforward attempt to put the international lexicon of science and technology, mainly of Greek and Latin origin, into a language with a purely isolating grammar. Interglossa was published in 1943 as just a draft of an auxiliary, that is, a preliminary sketch to be completed.
