The Bahai Faith is, first of all, the path of faith that was taught by Baha'u'llah (1817-1892). It has been expounded by his son Abdu'l-Baha (1844-1921) and by the Guardian he appointed, Shoghi Effendi (1897-1957). The Bahai community can be found in most countries (Google yours), and is now administered by an elected council, the Universal House of Justice. The community has no clergy. Local communities are also administered by elected councils, the Spiritual Assemblies.
Among the Bahai teachings are:- The independent search after truth, unfettered by superstition or tradition;
- the oneness of the entire human race, the pivotal principle and fundamental doctrine of the Faith;
- the basic unity of all religions;
- the condemnation of all forms of prejudice, whether religious, racial, class or national;
- the harmony which must exist between religion and science;
- the equality of men and women, the two wings on which the bird of human kind is able to soar;
- the introduction of compulsory education;
- the adoption of a universal auxiliary language;
- the abolition of the extremes of wealth and poverty;
- the institution of a world tribunal for the adjudication of disputes between nations;
- the exaltation of work, performed in the spirit of service, to the rank of worship;
- the glorification of justice as the ruling principle in human society,
- and of religion as a bulwark for the protection of all peoples and nations;
- and the establishment of a permanent and universal peace as the supreme goal of all mankind - these stand out as the essential elements of that Divine polity which He [Abdu'l-Baha] proclaimed to leaders of public thought as well as to the masses at large in the course of these missionary journeys [to Europe and North America, in 1911-1913]. The exposition of these vitalizing truths of the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh, which He characterized as the "spirit of the age," He supplemented with grave and reiterated warnings of an impending conflagration which, if the statesmen of the world should fail to avert, would set ablaze the entire continent of Europe. He, moreover, predicted, in the course of these travels, the radical changes which would take place in that continent, foreshadowed the movement of the decentralization of political power which would inevitably be set in motion, alluded to the troubles that would overtake Turkey, anticipated the persecution of the Jews on the European continent, and categorically asserted that the "banner of the unity of mankind would be hoisted, that the tabernacle of universal peace would be raised and the world become another world.
(Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, p. 281-2

What is the bahai language?
Bahai is a religion, not a country or geographic area, nor does it represent an ethnic group.As a religion that believes in the unity of humankind, the Bahai beliefs are not restricted to any one language or language group.However, in the interests of engendering international unity, the Bahai Faith advocates the introduction of an international 'world' language. Even so, the religion has not said what language that should be, and, as yet, has not developed such a language for global use. In fact, their view is that such a language should be selected or created by the world's governments."It is incumbent upon all nations to appoint some men of understanding and erudition to convene a gathering and through joint consultation choose one language from among the varied existing languages, or create a new one, to be taught to the children in all the schools of the world." -Bahai quote, according to WikiPedia.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------See Related links below for more information.
