Esperanto: Hoping One. An artificial language invented in 1887 for universal use by the Polish physician Dr. L. L. Zamenhof and based on roots common to the chief European languages with endings standardized. (OED)

Personally, I think Pali, based on the universal meanings of sounds, would have been a better choice. My father spoke esperanto; it was a big thing in academic circles for a while, but never caught on.
