Short description: Constructed language created in 1956

Romanid is a zonal auxiliary language for speakers of Romance languages, intended to be understandable to them without prior study. It was created by the Hungarian language teacher Zoltán Magyar, who published a first version in May 1956 and a second in December 1957. In 1984, he published a phrasebook with a short grammar, in which he presents a slightly more simplified version of the language.^[1]

The language is based on the most common word senses in French, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.^[2] It is rare, even in Hungary where it originated.^[3] According to the Russian newspaper Trud, Romanid, from a structural point of view, is "considerably simpler and easier to learn than Esperanto."^[4]
