Romanid is azonal auxiliary language for speakers ofRomance languages, intended to be understandable to them without prior study. It was created by theHungarian language teacherZoltán Magyar, who published a first version in May 1956 and a second in December 1957. In 1984, he published a phrasebook with a short grammar, in which he presents a slightly more simplified version of the language.[2]
The language is based on the most common word senses inFrench,Italian,Portuguese andSpanish.[3] It is rare, even in Hungary where it originated.[4] According to the Russian newspaperTrud, Romanid, from a structural point of view, is "considerably simpler and easier to learn than Esperanto."[5]
