This page describes the irregularities in the [[auxiliary language]] [[Interlingua]]. Most of these irregularities also exist in the [[Romance languages]] which Interlingua uses as its source material.

Interlingua is notable in the sense that most languages intended as [[auxiliary language|auxiliary languages]]s seek to minimise or eliminate any irregular aspects. The below irregularities and exceptions are a compromise to make the language appear more familiar to speakers of [[Romance languages]], in which many of the below verbal irregularities can be found.

On the other hand, Interlingua specifies that these irregularities are optional, so that their use or otherwise is not mandated by the language.
