The planned language Pasilingua , introduced by Peter Steiner in his work Drei Weltsprach-Systeme in 1889 , only uses words in its vocabulary that have at least two of the three languages English , French and German in common in their stem syllables (e.g. education or melodiu) . The dictionary contains about 5,000 words. Grammatically, four cases of the noun are distinguished and indicated by suffixes ( nominative : mortu, the death; genitive : mortude, of death; dative : mortuby, the death; accusative : mortun, the death). Verbs can also be modified by corresponding endings in three tenses ( present / past tense / future tense - mi morter / mi mortefer / mi morterer - I die / die / will die). There is only one form of declension and one form of conjugation . Although the author speaks in the introduction of his book of the intention “ to unite and unite humanity, ie the various races and nationalities without regard to their cultural status, their religion and politics ”, he leads on as one of the great ones Pasilingua has the advantage that a text written in this language would be understood in Portugal, Spain, Italy, England, Holland, Sweden, Bulgaria, Romania, Australia or America, " provided it did not fall into the hands of Slavs, Asians or Africans ( n) would have fallen ”.
