LangX is a scheme for the progressive synthesis of the best elements of both existing "natural" tongues and new constructed languages into a single world language of incomparable range and richness in the distant future, via a "global pidgin" IAL, according to the jargon -> pidgin -> vernacular model that has produced successful localised common languages in the past.

The table below is explained on the LangX page, and "seasoned IALers" might like to go there first, without preamble.

The IAL issue is much too important to be determined except by an internationally-representative language committee (ILC) in consultation with all interested parties. The very appointment of such a body would surely result in the formation of a new constructed language rather than the selection of an existing language. Moreover, in view of the extensive work already carried out in this area, the resultant language would inevitably be based upon what has already been proven: in which context LangX - a development of earlier work by Prof. Bickerton and others - is offered up for the ILC's consideration.
