High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Ro is an a priori constructed language created by Rev. Edward Powell Foster beginning in 1904. In Ro, words are constructed using a category system. For example, the word for red is "bofoc", and yellow is "bofof". All words starting with "bofo-" signify colors. Foster did not simply try to design a better language in general, but to optimize his language for one design criterion: recognizability of unknown words. After working on the language for about two years, Foster published the first booklet about Ro in 1906. The publication of Ro periodicals was supported by several American sponsors, especially from the Marietta area, including Melvil Dewey, inventor of the Dewey Decimal Classification, another attempt to categorize human knowledge, Vice President Charles G. Dawes, George White, who mentioned Ro in the Congressional Record, and Mrs Dave H Morris of IALA.
