I look at the history of the language and its structure and vocabulary, and also talk a bit about Schleyer himself.<\/p>\n<p>Volap\u00fck was the first international auxillary language, or indeed constructed language, to attract a significant number of adherents. At its peak there were an estimated 283 clubs, 25 periodicals in or about Volap\u00fck, and 316 textbooks in 25 languages.<\/p>\n<p>Not long after that, however, the Volap\u00fck movement began collapse and by the early 20th century few people were interested in Volap\u00fck. Many former Volap\u00fckists switched their attentions to Esperanto, which was published in 1887. Or tried to improve the language, and create new versions, none of which had much success.<\/p>\n<p>The photo above is of Johann Martin Schleyer and comes from: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Category:Johann_Martin_Schleyer?uselang=de\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Information about Volap\u00fck<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/writing\/volapuk.htm&quot;\">https:\/\/www.omniglot.com\/writing\/volapuk.htm<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/volap\u00fck.com\/\">http:\/\/volap\u00fck.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Volap\u00fck\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Volap\u00fck<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/wikisource.org\/wiki\/Gramat_Volap%C3%BCka\/Lafab_Volap%C3%BCkik\">https:\/\/wikisource.org\/wiki\/Gramat_Volap\u00fcka\/Lafab_Volap\u00fckik<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Examples of spoken Volap\u00fck<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/kjXdZml71EE\" allow=\"accelerometer;
