Abstract
Interlingua serves as a constructed bridge language, designed to simplify communication and analysis across diverse natural languages by identifying commonalities in structure and meaning. Samanvaya, our proposed interlingua for Indian languages, embodies this principle by unifying linguistic features shared across these languages, facilitating deeper linguistic analysis and cross-lingual understanding while preserving their unique cultural identities.
