Pandunia is an artificial language based on natural languages that aims to promote and simplify international communication.^[1] Pandunia is mainly based on English and Chinese, but is also influenced by other languages, including French, Spanish, Arabic, Indonesian, and Swahili.^[2] Grammatically, Pandunia is analytical language, so its words are not inflected for case, number, tense or person.^[3]

Pandunia was developed by Risto Kupsala and Jens Wilkinson.^[4] According to the authors, Pandunia emerged in 2007, not as a reaction to old Western auxiliary languages, but as a consequence of global networking. In their opinion, it is natural that world language originates in a wide variety of languages of the world.^[5]

According to Kauko Kämäräinen, Pandunia is radically different from Esperanto and other more widely known auxiliary languages. It is special because of its extremely truncated grammar and also because its vocabulary is geographically exceptionally comprehensive and culturally diverse.^[4]
