Glagolica is an international auxiliary language designed for the speakers of Slavic languages. It was created by Richard Ruibar.

Description

According to the introduction, the purpose of Glagolica is to enhance "mutuality and cooperation" of Slavs, which he calls a "fundamental requirement for our political and economical sovereignty and prosperity". What differentiates Glagolica from other Slavic interlanguages like Slovio is that its grammar is almost entirely based on the Common ancestor of all Slavs, Common Slavic, in particular on Cyril Babaev's Grammar of Common Slavic Language. It is not supposed to be learned by anybody, but easily understood by speakers of Slavic languages.

Uniqueness

The difference with other Slavic auxlangs is that Glagolica is based on Common Slavic, while others are either schematic (like Slovio), based on Old Church Slavonic, or based on the contemporary Slavic languages. Only Slovo is based on the same premise as Glagolica, and that is why the two languages are very similar.

Language sources

Common Slavic, mostly.
