Euroclone languages are international auxiliary languages which use a posteriori vocabulary borrowed from the roots of European languages. Many of the Euroclones use a mix of Germanic and Romance roots, but most often the roots are taken from Romance languages. These international auxiliary languages end up sounding very similar, with little to distinguish them from other European languages. As the name implies that a language is merely an undistinguished "clone" of "real" languages, Euroclone has pejorative connotations.
