Globasa is possibly my current favorite auxlang contender. It strikes a great balance between things that many auxlangs may struggle with -- universality, recognizability, expressiveness, and accessibility. After reading through all the (very well-formatted) documentation, I can tell that this is a language made with a lot of care and thought put into it. Please feel free to correct anything I say in the video in the comments.

This is part of my series on conlang overviews, languages that were constructed/designed by people rather than arising naturally. I'll be focusing on teaching auxlangs (aka IALs, international auxiliary languages), which are conlangs that are designed for people to learn as a second language for international communication. While English is the current de facto auxiliary language, that hasn't stopped people from attempting to make ones that are more culturally neutral/easier to learn!

BIG thank you to the Globasa Discord for proofreading my script, especially Vanege! You can join the discord here: https://discordapp.com/invite/x5crvCa
