Ido 

(Esperanto for “descendant” or “offspring”), an international auxiliary language based on Esperanto, established by the Delegation for the Adoption of an International Auxiliary Language in Paris in 1907. The Frenchman L. de Beaufront created it, and the French logician L. Couturat worked to improve and disseminate it; they both were trying to simplify word formation. A journal in Ido, Progreso, is published in Geneva (since 1908).
