Universal Auxiliary Language

Although `Abdu’l-Bahā announces that an auxiliary language is needed and will be “one of the great factors in the unification of man,” Baha’i scriptures have been authored in at least three different languages.

The problem of an Auxiliary language has existed ever since antiquity when people with different languages had engaged in trade with each other. Nicholas Olster’s Empires of the World: A Language History of the World, manifests great insight into this topic.
