Globasa is an international auxiliary language started by linguist Hector Ortega. The language was published on July 26, 2019 after a two-year experimental and development phase. Its design is inspired by the world's creole languages and its root words come from many different languages around the world. It follows three maxims: Optimal simplicity, balance of opposing linguistic parameters, and internationality.

History
The creator of Globasa, Hector Ortega, is a linguist, translator and language teacher. As a linguistics student he studied creole languages, and by around the year 2000, he came to the conclusion, that a language with a more international vocabulary and a simpler phonology and grammar than Esperanto could be created. Among his ideas for a new world language were for example the selection of international words according to a specific method, the one-letter-one-sound system or grammatical features such as the lack of article and plural. The current language is still based on these feature.

Ortega encountered the international planned languages Neo Patwa in 2009 and Pandunia in 2017. Pandunia seemed like the closest world language to what he imagined, but after spending a few weeks on the project, he left it again, citing his opinion, that the language lacks the necessary morphology to disambiguate simple or complex sentences as the reason. He decided to start his own project and spent the next two years on developing the core grammar and a lexicon of 1000 root words. The first version of Globasa was published on July 26th, 2019, since then the language is actively developed by Ortega himself and a group of volunteers. The discussion about the language takes place mainly through Reddit and Discord.
