Javirl 11:16, 18 July 2005 (UTC) This article lacks reference to Dalgarno's artificial language, which is truly interesting. I'll add it when I have the time.[reply]

what kind of language?[edit]

Dalgarno was also interested in constructing what he called a 'philosophical language', now more usually referred to as universal language.

These are different concepts; to choose between them, I'd need to know a bit more about his purposes. —Tamfang (talk) 22:12, 22 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They are different concepts now, but at the time (1600s) universality is pretty much what all the philosophical languages were going for. (Or looking for the original 'Adamic language', but I think they'd consider that roughly equivalent to 'universal'.) See e.g. Leibniz's similar work at around the same period. I don't know Dalgarno's, but it's a reasonable guess that it was doing the same. --Sai ¿?✍ 00:20, 23 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
