What is Ido?
Ido is an International Auxiliary Language, a constructed language designed for cross-cultural communication.
- Wikipedia Article on Ido gives an overview of Ido's development, history, current status, structure, and grammar. This article is a good jumping-off point, with many Ido-related links to explore.
- The Ido Wikipedia site has some 15,000 articles written in Ido. Although a majority of the articles are only one to two lines long, you can find many meaty pieces good for practicing your Ido reading skills and expanding your vocabulary and mastery of idiom.
- The Ido international organizational home site is Uniono por la Linguo Internaciona Ido. Click on the "English" link for a list of introductory articles, vocabulary lists, and tutorials.
