"Serafin Bernhard Lingua Franca Nuova of 1888 ( Vienna),
and his Welt-Italienisch Franca of 1891 present a barely
regularized Italian, so filled with irregularities that it is
hardly worth while disturbing the natural Italian language to
achieve it."
- Mario Pei, "One Language for the World" (1968)
