The Union Interlinguiste de France ("UIF": Interlinguistic Union of France), established in 1961, works to increase public knowledge and active use of Interlingua. It produces the magazine Unir, written in French and Interlingua and also established in 1961. In addition, the UIF makes other Interlingua publications available, arranges conferences and a General Assembly, submits articles to the mainstream press, and issues press releases. In 2007, the UIF was instrumental in gaining recognition of the Union Mundial pro Interlingua as an international organization.

“Thus piteously Love closed what he begat:
The union of this ever-diverse pair!
These two were rapid falcons in a snare,
Condemned to do the flitting of the bat.”

“While learning the language in France a young man’s morals, health and fortune are more irresistibly endangered than in any country of the universe.”
