Interlingue (Occidental) behoort tot de kunsttalen. Occidental werd gecreëerd in het jaar 1922 in Reval, (het huidige Tallinn, Estland) door de marine-officier en leraar Edgar de Wahl (1867-1948). Het neemt een bemiddelend standpunt in tussen de meer (Interlingua) en de meer schematische kunsttalen (Esperanto). Na een aanvankelijke bloeitijd in de jaren 20 en 30 werd de taal geleidelijk verdrongen door het in 1951 door Alexander Gode vervaardigde Interlingua. Tot dat moment was het een groot concurrent van zowel Esperanto en Ido, die beide ook een grote invloed op Occidental hadden. In 1948/9 kreeg het Occidental een andere naam Interlingue, maar tegenwoordig wordt in toenemende mate de oude naam gebruikt. In 1999 gebruikten nog slechts 25 mensen de taal.
