Latin and the Romance languages have also served as the inspiration and basis of numerous auxiliary and constructed languages, so-called "Neo-Romance languages".<ref>{{Cite web |title=NEO-ROMANTICISM IN LANGUAGE PLANNING (Edo BERNASCONI) |url=http://donh.best.vwh.net/Languages/novlatin.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150204020228/http://donh.best.vwh.net/Languages/novlatin.html |archive-date=2015-02-04}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=NEO-ROMANTICISM IN LANGUAGE PLANNING (Edo BERNASCONI) |url=http://donh.best.vwh.net/Languages/novlatin2.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150710083231/http://donh.best.vwh.net/Languages/novlatin2.html |archive-date=2015-07-10}}</ref>

The concept was first developed in 1903 by Italian mathematician [[Giuseppe Peano]], under the title [[Latino sine flexione]].<ref name="peano-de">Peano, Giuseppe (1903).

Fratres Bocca Editores: Torino.</ref> He wanted to create a ''naturalistic'' international language, as opposed to an autonomous constructed language like [[Esperanto]] or [[Volapük]] which were designed for maximal simplicity of lexicon and derivation of words. Peano used Latin as the base of his language because, as he described it, Latin had been the international scientific language until the end of the 18th century.<ref name="peano-de" /><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Peano |first=Giuseppe |author-link=Giuseppe Peano |date=1903–1904 |title=Il latino quale lingua ausiliare internazionale |url=http://mono.eik.bme.hu/~galantai/LSF/interlingua/interlingua-07.jpg |journal=Atti della Reale Accad.

Other languages developed include [[Idiom Neutral]] (1902), [[Interlingue]]-Occidental (1922), [[Interlingua]] (1951) and [[Lingua Franca Nova]] (1998). The most famous and successful of these is Interlingua.{{citation needed|date=June 2021}} Each of these languages has attempted to varying degrees to achieve a pseudo-Latin vocabulary as common as possible to living Romance languages. Some languages have been constructed specifically for communication among speakers of Romance languages, the [[Pan-Romance language]]s.

There are also languages created for artistic purposes only, such as [[Talossa#Talossan language|Talossan]]. Because Latin is a very well attested ancient language, some amateur linguists have even constructed Romance languages that mirror real languages that developed from other ancestral languages. These include [[Brithenig]] (which mirrors [[Welsh language|Welsh]]), Breathanach<ref>{{Cite web |title=Eall fhoil de Bhreathanach |url=http://www.cix.co.uk/~morven/lang/breath.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080610171257/http://www.cix.co.uk/~morven/lang/breath.html |archive-date=June 10, 2008}}</ref> (mirrors [[Irish language|Irish]]), [[Wenedyk]] (mirrors [[Polish language|Polish]]), Þrjótrunn (mirrors [[Icelandic language|Icelandic]]),<ref>{{Cite web |last=Henrik Theiling |date=2007-10-28 |title=Þrjótrunn: A North Romance Language: History |url=http://www.kunstsprachen.de/s17/s_02.html |access-date=2010-11-06 |publisher=Kunstsprachen.de |archive-date=2011-07-22 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110722104504/http://www.kunstsprachen.de/s17/s_02.html |url-status=live }}</ref> and Helvetian (mirrors [[German language|German]]).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2004-08-28 |title=Relay0/R – Jelbazech |url=http://steen.free.fr/relay10/jelbazech.html |access-date=2010-11-06 |publisher=Steen.free.fr |archive-date=2011-05-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110516015257/http://steen.free.fr/relay10/jelbazech.html |url-status=live }}</ref>
