Globasa is the product of an elaborate thought experiment. It envisioned a hypothetical scenario whereby one thousand randomly selected individuals from around the world volunteer to relocate to an uninhabited island. What would the village language look like within three generations? This was our guiding vision, from which a small but vibrant community of Globasa speakers and collaborators has emerged in the present decade.
The Globasa project was launched in 2019 by a linguist, translator and expert in adult language acquisition and teaching. It has been created with the average world citizen in mind to be as easy as possible to learn and to use without sacrificing clarity and degree of expressiveness. Its design, reminiscent of the world's creole languages, is the result of the following guiding principles:

After an experimental and developmental stage of two years, Globasa was published on July 26th, 2019 with a complete core grammar and 1,000 root words, ready to be put into practice. Since then, Globasa has undergone further development with the help and collaboration of the auxlang community, but has otherwise remained relatively stable and true to its vision. With over 9,000 total dictionary entries, a beginner's course and plenty of reading material, Globasa is currently in Phase 6 of its developmental and growth stage.
