Glosa is an international auxiliary language developed by Lancelot Hogben, Ronald Clark and Wendy Ashby. It is based on Interglossa, a language created by Hogben and published in 1943. He saw his language as a first draft, and worked with Ronald Clark from 1960 to expand and improve it. They were joined by Wendy Ashby in 1972. The first Glosa dictionary was published in 1978.
Glosa is an isolating language in which words do not change to indicate their grammatical role in a sentence. Verbs do not conjugate and nouns do not decline. Many words can function as verbs, nouns, adjectives or prepositions depending on their position in a sentence. The vocabulary is based mainly on Latin and Greek roots used in scientific, technological and medical terminology in major European languages.
The Glosa Education Organisation (GEO) was set up in 1987 to promote the teaching of Glosa as a second language in schools around the world. GEO's official website, glosa.org, was set up in 1996, and a Glosa Wiki was created in 2021.

Glosa is an international auxiliary language (auxlang), that was developed by Lancelot Hogben (as Interglossa, GB, 1943), Ronald Clark and Wendy Ashby (GB, 1972-1992). An auxlang is an artificial language that should help the communication between speakers of different native languages and so be a supplement to the national languages.
