Léopold Leau (1868-1943) was a French mathematician,[1] primarily known for his ties to international auxiliary languages.
The Delegation for the Adoption of an International Auxiliary Language was founded on 7 January 1901 on Leau's initiative.[2] He co-wrote with Prof. Louis Couturat the monumental Histoire de la Langue Universelle (1903)[3] and its supplement Les Nouvelles Langues Internationales (1907).[4]
