=== Stagnation and revival ===

While the migration of so many users to Interlingua had severely weakened Interlingue, the ensuing drop in activity was gradual and took place over decades.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Esterhill |first=Frank |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=V-pUYFcH2PwC|title=Interlingua Institute : A History |date=2000 |publisher=Interlingua Institute |isbn=0-917848-02-0}}</ref> ''Cosmoglotta B'' ceased publication after 1950, and the frequency of ''Cosmoglotta A'' began to gradually drop: once every second month from 1952, and then once per quarter from 1963.<ref name=":3" /> Other bulletins in Interlingue continued to appear during this time such as ''Cive del Munde'' (Switzerland), ''Voce de Praha'' (Czechoslovakia), ''Sved Interlinguist'' (Sweden), ''International Memorandum'' ([[United Kingdom]]), ''Interlinguistic Novas'' (France), ''Jurnale Scolari International'' (France), ''Buletine Pedagogic International'' (France), ''Super li Frontieras'' (France), ''Interlingue-Postillon'' (1958, Germany), ''Novas de Oriente'' (1958, Japan), ''Amicitie european'' (1959, Switzerland), ''Teorie e practica'' (Switzerland-Czechoslovakia, 1967), and ''Novas in Interlingue'' (Czechoslovakia, 1971).<ref name=":4" /> Barandovská-Frank believed that the ebb in interest in Occidental-Interlingue occurred in concert with the aging of the generation that was first drawn to it from other planned languages:
{{blockquote|Most of those interested in Interlingue belonged to the generation that became acquainted in turn with [[Volapük]], Esperanto and Ido, later on finding the most aesthetic (essentially naturalistic) solution in Occidental-Interlingue. Many subsequently moved to IALA's Interlingua, which however did not prove to be much more successful despite the impression its scientific origin made, and those who remained loyal to Occidental-Interlingue did not succeed in imparting their enthusiasm to a new generation.<ref name=":4" />}}
Activity in Interlingue reached a low during the 1980s and early 1990s, when ''Cosmoglotta'' publication ceased for a few years. While issue 269 was published in 1972 after publishing once per season between 1963,<ref name=":3" /> issue 289 was not reached until summer 2000<ref>{{Cite web|title=Cosmoglotta A, Summer 2000|url=http://cosmoglotta.narod.ru/Cg289/cg289.htm|access-date=13 December 2018|archive-date=22 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210922200525/http://cosmoglotta.narod.ru/Cg289/cg289.htm|url-status=live}}</ref> for an average of less than one issue per year. According to Harlow, "in 1985 Occidental's last periodical, ''Cosmoglotta'', ceased publication, and its editor, Mr. Adrian Pilgrim, is quoted as having described Occidental as a 'dead language.'"<ref name="harlow2000" /> A decade later, a [[documentary film]] in 1994 by Steve Hawley and Steyger on planned languages introduced Interlingue speaker Donald Gasper as "one of the last remaining speakers of the language Occidental".<ref>{{Citation|last=Hawley|first=Steve|title=Language Lessons 1994|date=1 June 2010|url=https://vimeo.com/12197673|access-date=30 January 2019|archive-date=11 December 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191211190635/https://vimeo.com/12197673|url-status=live}}</ref>

As was the case for other planned languages, the arrival of the Internet spurred Interlingue's revival.<ref name=":10">{{Cite web|last=Barandovská-Frank|first=Vĕra|title=Latinidaj planlingvoj (AIS-kurso, 1 studunuo)|url=http://interl.home.amu.edu.pl/interlingvistiko/Barandovska_Latinidaj_planlingvoj.pdf|access-date=22 January 2019|archive-date=23 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190123010131/http://interl.home.amu.edu.pl/interlingvistiko/Barandovska_Latinidaj_planlingvoj.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> In the year 1999 the first [[Yahoo!
