I have to say, this description is false. Interlingua was also developed successfully by a committee, and it was completed four years before the Loglan project was even announced! Interlingua was baselined in 1951 by the International Auxiliary Language Association of New York, under the direction of Dr Alexander Gode. co'omi'e djef
