Principle 11:
Universal Language

                                        

In order to facilitate complete understanding
between all people, a universal auxiliary language will
be adopted and in the schools of the future two languages
will be taught -- the mother tongue and this international
auxiliary tongue which will be either one of the existing
languages or a new language made up of words from all the
languages -- the matter is to be determined by a confederation met
for the purpose which shall represent all tribes and nations.

( 'Abdu'l-Bahá , Divine Philosophy p. 84)
