One criticism that applies to naturalistic constructed languages in general is that if an educated traveler is willing to learn a naturalistic conlang, they may find it even more useful to learn a [[natural language]] outright, such as [[International English]].  Planned conlangs at least hold out the promise of "fixing" or standardizing certain irregular aspects of natural languages and providing unique advantages, despite the lack of speakers, but naturalistic conlangs have to compete with the natural languages they are based on.  In practice, conferences with international attendance tend to be held in a natural language popular among the attendees rather than an [[international auxiliary language]].
