Folkspraak, an auxlang, was invented by Jeffrey Henning.

Uniqueness

Folkspraak is an international auxiliary language intended as a pan-Germanic language, easily learned by speakers of English, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Afrikaans, Frisian and other Germanic languages. Folkspraak is an attempt to distill the Germanic languages. (See Tutonish.) Folkspraak is a model language being designed as a common Germanic language (an "Intergerman", if you will). Once complete, Folkspraak should be quickly learnable by any native speaker of a Germanic language, a group numbering over 465 million native speakers (with an additional 300 to 900 million speaking English as a second language).

Language sources
