- 2004, Steven Roger Fischer, A history of language, Reaktion Books, →ISBN, page 180:
- The first practical constructed language was the south-west German Pastor Schleyer's Volapük from 1879; its complicated grammar and irregular vocabulary made learning difficult, however. The most successful has been Esperanto, devised by the Warsaw ophthalmologist Ludwig Zamenhof in 1887, that today can count some one million speakers.

Etymology
Compound of vola (“of the world / world's”), genitive singular of vol (“world”) + pük (“language”) (morpheme structure: vol (“world”) + -a (“genitive morpheme”) + pük (“language”) = volapük (“world language”) / Volapük (“World Language”), i.e., Johann Martin Schleyer's Weltsprache (“World Language / Universal Language”). Johann Martin Schleyer created the compound noun volapük (vol + -a + pük) by both simplifying and deforming the English words: world (world > wol > vol) and speak / speech (speak / speech > pik > pük), which produced (lowercase generic term) volapük (any "worldspeak" or "world language") versus (uppercase specific term) Volapük, "the" Worldspeak / World Language / Weltsprache.
Pronunciation
Proper noun
Volapük
- Volapük (rarely lowercase, compare the generic term volapük versus the specific language called Volapük)
