Auxlangs?  Almost certainly*.  Constructed auxlangs?  Dunno 'bout that.  I
wonder what the Nazis' policy on Volapük was, given that it was German
regurgitated as English, more or less.

*(I only doubt because I am uncertain whether such persecution would be
more for speaking a particular language, auxlang or not, rather than being
persecuted for speaking an auxlang)
