An international auxiliary language (usually abbreviated as IAL or auxlang) is a language created with the intention of being used for communication between people who do not share a common native language. There are many auxlangs, and they run the gamut between being successful (having a community of speakers) Esperanto and being nearly forgotten (having no speakers, such as Afrihili).

Most auxlangs are a posteriori conlangs, however a very few have been a priori.

Fauxlangs

A notable subgroup of auxlangs are fauxlangs. Fauxlangs are languages created to be auxlangs for an alternative universe or galaxy or planet, but which do not function as auxlangs in our current universe/galaxy/planet.
