You might find what you look for in lojban, whose vocabulary comes from more diverse languages.

Stefano B:I think that the internet is giving new life to many small languages like that, even ido and volapuk have come back somewhat. But, those languages have such small numbers of speakers to begin with, you are very limited in what you can do with it. Someone (probably on this forum) once made a very insightful comment.
Lojban looks very interesting. Do you think it's gaining popularity?
If you Join an ido forum, you can use ido to talk about ido. If you join an Esperanto forum, you can use Esperanto to talk about fishing.
I suspect there's more than a grain of truth to that, and that it applies to many other constructed languages as well. Also, of those who do know lojban, I suspect the venn diagram intersection among those who also know Esperanto is probably quite large. I'd be curious to know if that guess is right.
In any case, I do think Lojban looks like a very interesting project. It might be fun to learn some day.

It's more of an experiment than a language, even though it is rich enough to be used as a language. It is much stricter than Esperanto and there are fewer resources on the internet, but I hope to finish learning it one day.
