Background
Vizhutua is a multilingual society. In addition to the 8 main languages of Vizhutua: Vizhutuan, Lenyingan, Bur, Tambalan, Nyidushan, Fusonchan, Pondunyan, and Rangitan, there are also as much as 200 regional languages spoken in the provinces of Vizhutua.

Since the Vizhutu Empire conquered all of modern Vizhutua in 1622, Vizhutuan (or Vijhutubhasa) was declared the lingua franca of the entire country, and all people were to learn Vizhutuan in order to converse with the general population.

However, the disastorous Anglo-Vizhutuan War and the ensuing Lenying Revolution of 1856 gave many non-Vizhutuans a new voice. They hoped that the government would create a new language that would be equal among the 8 ethnic groups of Vizhutua. As a result, a group of linguists led by V. Shrivastava and Mohamed Kazem Hesari began to establish rules and vocabulary for the new language.

The new language was to be called Sarwabhasa, a combination of the words Sarwa, meaning TBA, and Bhasa, meaning 'language'. Schools began offering Sarwabhasa classes as early as 1870.
