When the plane hit the tower, the blind man, realizing he wouldn't have time to escape, decided to give his Labrador Retriever a chance to escape and unfastened the leash around the dog's neck. There was noise and terrible heat all around, and the stairs were crowded with people. Omar freed Salty and ordered her to leave. The rushing crowd pulled the dog along, but after a few minutes, the blind man felt Salty poke at his feet: she returned to the owner. A faithful animal and one of the employees helped Omar climb 70 flights of stairs, which took almost an hour. Shortly after they left the tower, the building collapsed, and, according to the man, he owes his life to a faithful dog.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Roselle is another heroine of that terrible day. The dog was sleeping under his owner's desk on the 78th floor of Tower 1 of the World Trade Center when the attack began. She was awakened by the plane crashing about fifteen floors above them.

The dog led her owner and 30 others down the 1,463 steps from the tower.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Guide dogs Salty and Roselle received the UK's highest military award for animals, the Deakin Medal.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;"><strong>Lady</strong></p><div class="raw-html-embed"><iframe src="https://assets.pinterest.com/ext/embed.html?id=240590805063392278" height="460" width="450" frameborder="0" scrolling="no"></iframe></div><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">Golden Retriever, nicknamed Lady, was a true friend of 81-year-old American Parley Nichols for six years.

<p style="margin-left:0.0px;">This language was supposed to be the language of the future, but instead, during World War II, everyone who spoke Esperanto was persecuted and killed. We have collected all the most interesting facts about artificial languages ​​that will really surprise you.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">In 1887, on a small booklet, the Polish ophthalmologist Ludwik Lazar Zamenhof wrote a few sentences in a language still unknown to the world, which he called Esperanto (translated as "hopeful"). In 1990, Esperanto was presented at the International Exhibition in Paris. The newly created language quickly became popular and, according to the author's plan, it was supposed to become the only language of international communication, second only to the native language for every person in the world. That is why Esperanto is a fairly simple language - it has 28 letters in its alphabet and only 16 grammatical rules. Most of the words are borrowed from French, English, German and Italian languages. Esperanto also had its language flag colors - green and white, which symbolize hope and peace, and its emblem - a five-pointed star, which symbolizes the five continents. There was even an attempt to create the country of Amikeho, whose inhabitants would speak Esperanto. Esperanto was also supposed to become the official language of the newly created League of Nations, but France voted against it. And Doctor Zamenhof was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize 14 times. However, World War II changed everything. Two dictators - Stalin and Hitler persecuted, thrown into concentration camps, and killed Esperantists, one of them saw this language as a tool of Zionism, and the other did not like the supposedly anti-nationalist ideals of the community. Those speakers of Esperanto who managed to survive were united in communities, but they were no longer taken seriously.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">In addition to Esperanto, there are many artificial languages ​​in the world, such as Interlingue (Occidental). This language first appeared in Europe in 1922 and was invented by the linguist Edgar de Waal. As in Esperanto, this language also borrows words from the Romano-Germanic group. This language was also persecuted because of its first name occidental, which means "western" in Latin, and the countries of the communist bloc generally considered it a threat that could bring anti-revolutionary ideas.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">&nbsp;Volapük is another artificial language, which, according to its history, was dreamed up by the priest Johann Martin Schleyer in 1879. According to him, God appeared to him and ordered him to invent and write down his own language, which the priest did immediately. All night he wrote down grammar, the meaning of words, and sentences, and then generally wrote poems in this language. The basis for creating Volapük was German words and individual words twisted from French and English. The author gave up the letter "r", according to his idea, this letter will be difficult to pronounce for Chinese who want to learn Volapük. After the coming to power of the Nazis, who banned foreign languages, the popularity of Volapük quickly declined.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">In 1955, linguist John Cook invented the Loglan language as an alternative to "normal" non-ideal languages. But the language, which was created mostly for scientific research, became quite popular. What's more, it lacks such concepts as time in verbs or time in nouns. But there are many exclamations in the language, which should express the whole range of feelings - from love to hatred.</p><p style="margin-left:0.0px;">But the simplest artificial language was invented quite recently - in 2011, Canadian linguist Sonja Elen Kisa invented Topikona. There are only 118 words in her dictionary, each of which has several meanings. The author is sure that thanks to Topikon, she got closer to the "language of the future".</p>
