Anyway, there is a major difference between Esperanto (Volapük, Solresol and other international languages) and Nemo's artificial language: whereasEsperanto tends to unify languages of different nations, Nemo's language just try the contrary: seperate his crew and himself from the rest of humanitiy. So, his language is much more close to thieves' latin which exist in all languages, I think.

Best,
Volker

In the excellent annotated edition of the 20K published by The Naval Institute Press (the translation was done by W.J.Miller and F.P. Walter) there is a footnote (page 102), where a possible meaning and etymology of the words in the famous sentence:



\"Nautron respoc lorni virch\"

is explained.



Verne was interested in the artificial languages and this can be seen in some of his works.

In 2005 I wrote a paper (in Esperanto) about this topic, it can be downloaded at:

But there were others that were earlier

including one from 1868, about the time that 20K was being worked

upon.  Certainly the idea of such a language is what he was trying to

convey even if the details are different.

Thanks, so much.  





Interesting aside: Conseil makes statement: “That’s the nuisance in not knowing every language,” Conseil replied, “or the drawback in not having one universal language!” -Pt.1 Ch 8 “Mobilis in Mobili”





...Esperanto doesn\'t come along until 1887!
