Lingua sistemfrater (English: Language of Brotherhood), also referred to as Frater, is an a posteriori international auxiliary language created by Vietnamese translator Phạm Xuân Thái[1] in 1957 as Frater (Lingua sistemfrater): The simplest International Language Ever Constructed. The language uses a largely Greco-Latin lexicon,[2] and an Asian-influenced grammar.[3]

Frater was one of the (comparatively rare)[4] international languages created in Asia,[5] and had a vocabulary of more than 6,000 words.[citation needed]
