   The term “planned language” first appeared in its German original Plansprache. It was introduced by Eugen Wüster as a translation of Jespersen’s (1928) constructed language in his 1931 dissertation on terminology standardisation. Following Wüster, Blanke […] defines a planned language as “a language consciously created by an individual or group of people, in accordance with defined criteria, with the goal of facilitating international linguistic communication”.
