An official name for “Language P”

The international language for the story in Symphony No. 1 is officially called Dunia Lengua, meaning “World Language”. (The Chinese name for Esperanto is 世界语 Shì​jiè​yǔ​, meaning the same thing.)

The first word is of Arabic origin: دنيا, borrowed into Hindustani, Bengali and Malay. The second is from Latin via Spanish and Portuguese, meaning “language” and “tongue”, with cognates in English and French.

Also, it will also be based on the twelve most spoken languages, L1 and L2 combined, according to Ethnologue, weighted accordingly:

• Chinese (Mandarin) 9
• English 7
• Hindi-Urdu 4
• Spanish 4
• Arabic 4
• Russian 3
• Portuguese 2
• Bengali 2
• Malay-Indonesian 2
• Japanese 1
• French 1
• German 1
