Esperanto, also known as La Internacia Lingvo. We call it Esperanto because when the Polish Oculist L.L. Zamenhof first published it in 1887, he used the Pen Name Doktoro Esperanto (Translates as: Doctor One who hopes).
While growing up in an area where there were four different ethnic entities, he became highly aware that each had their own language and neither seemed to trust the other. There was hatred, abuse and condemnation from each and every group. He reasoned that if each could at least communicate on an equal footing, then there would be at least a little less animosity. He wasn't so naive as to assume it would solve all the problems, but it would be a significant step.
The basic theory is that each nationality would have to undertake an equal amount of effort to learn the second language, thereby bestowing no one nationality with a linguistic advantage. A neutral handshake if you will.
There are other international languages, but Esperanto has been the most successful by a large margin. In fact, if you were to total up the entire number of speakers for each of the other international languages, Esperanto would still out number them. At 2 million plus speakers, it is growing by leaps and bounds, thanks for the most part to the Internet.

Sign Language can fluctuate from one individual to an additional. But there are common indicators like auto (You fake to make use of a guidance wheel) and time (you factor for your wrist). Sign language is an extreemly numerous language. Because there a few phrases that do not have indicators, a few individuals could make up indicators, after which there's slang. If you know the way to mention "What is the signal for ____" after which spell the phrase you're going to be taught a LOT! Thats how I discovered! And I've been educating my pal who's going deaf the right way to signal!

A man in Poland created a language for exactly this purpose. His first book was published about the language in 1887, and despite the fact that it is not required learning in any country, it was outlawed by the Nazis in Germany, and the Communists in Russia and China, there are about 2 million speakers world wide. It's called Esperanto. The international language of peace and friendship.

Mathematics. It is the language us mere humans used to send our first messages into space. We haven't gotten back a response yet.
