The Basic Grammar of Ido

thumb|The flag of Ido. Ido is a constructed language created in the early 20th century. It was developed collaboratively by linguists, logicians, natural scientists and other scholars from the Delegation for the Adoption of an International Auxiliary Language, building upon the foundations of Esperanto, aiming to become a language more suited to international communication. Compared to its predecessor, Esperanto, Ido has introduced significant reforms, such as gender-neutral nouns, simplified pronunciation, compatible orthography and the reduction of grammatical redundancy, making it a more scientific and natural language. Much of Ido's vocabulary is derived from the major Indo-European languages. If the reader has a knowledge of English, Spanish, French, German, Italian or Latin, it will be easier to understand the terms and grammar. For unfamiliar words, the reader could consult Wiktionary or the Glosbe dictionary.
