Interlingua, som offentliggjordes år 1951 som resultatet av ett 25-årigt vetenskapligt lagarbete under ledning av framstående språkmän, kan sägas vara ett moderniserat latin och har efter detta språks tillbakagång alla förutsättningar att spela en viktig roll som framtidens internationella språk. Interlinguas ordförråd är helt internationellt. Språket förstås därför utan svårighet av varje kultiverad person efter en stunds studium av dess grammatik. Interlinguas grammatik är mycket enkel och naturlig. Språket är därför flera gånger lättare att lära än något nationellt språk. Med interlingua kan man utan svårighet göra sig förstådd i alla länder med spanska, italienska eller portugisiska som modersmål. Mer upplysningar samt adresser finns på www.interlingua.nu

Once part of the Kalmar Union-along with Denmark and Norway-the Kingdom of Sweden broke free in order to govern itself in the early 1500s, and for more than a century afterwards it was a force to be reckoned with. At its peak, it was twice the size that it is today, but with the secession of Finland in 1809 and the rise of Russia, Sweden changed its path and instead turned toward neutrality and a peaceful existence. Today, Sweden boasts a healthy economy, and it is an important member of the European Union, as well a major contributor to international activities. The A to Z of Sweden relates the history of Sweden through a chronology, a list of acronyms and abbreviations, an introductory essay, a bibliography, appendixes, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, events, and institutions, this dictionary provides information ranging from politics to economics, from education to religion, and from music to literature.
