There is a lot of confusion online about what Interlingua really is. This video discusses Interlingua and compares it to a seemingly similar, but very different language: Neolatin (Romance Neolatino).
Neolatin (Romance Neolatino) is a PanRomance language or a zonal auxiliary language (like Interslavic) that unites Romance languages into one standard. This is contrast with languages like Esperanto and Interlingua because Neolatin tries to be as natural as possible and only focuses on communication within a single group of languages (Romance languages, such as Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian, and Catalan). Neolatin, to some degree, is more of a dialect rather than a wholly new language because it conserves all the verb tenses and conjugations from traditional Romance languages, with multiple options of vocabulary.
