I just read The Avengers #5: The Afrit Affair, a tie-in novel based on the wonderful 1960s British TV series, not the Marvel superheroes. I was amused by the fact that the book's villain was a proponent of an artificial international language called Omnilingua: "The first and only truly democratic and unbiased world language. It is made up of elements of over two hundred little-known dialects, spoken by over half the world's population." ("And thus equally incomprehensible to all," quips Steed.)
