It's a artificial language made by Zamenhof, a polish man who tries to finish the conflicts of his city by unifying the spoken language, as a ideal.
It's a easy language to learn, few spoken but alive.

It's a artificial language made by Zamenhof, a polish man who tries to finish the conflicts of his city by unifying the spoken language, as a ideal. It's a easy language to learn, few spoken but alive. Many years ago somehow I became interested in a universal language and I got and read some books on Esperanto. After a while I abandoned it for the following reasons: --Its vocabulary is a collection of words from many languages (English, Latin, Greek, German, etc.), so that it appears to be international in nature; however,, I suspected that after a while Esperanto would break up into national dialects and would not be suitable for international communication. -- The vocabulary did not satisfy my ears for composing poems.(I had composed poems in Italian, .... a language which almost composes itself into poems and songs!) [English is one of my learned languages.] --Esperanto has its own grammatical rules or prescriptions, but I preferred the simplicity of English. Furthermore, I suspected the Esp. speakers of various nations would be using the syntax manners of their native nations. |

Bimbos to Bilboa
Why not use Basque. It's not related to any European language, so it wouldn't be called "Eurocentric," and it's a living language, so people could go to the Basque Country to brush up on it.

Bimbos to BilboaWhy not use Basque. It's not related to any European language, so it wouldn't be called "Eurocentric," and it's a living language, so people could go to the Basque Country to brush up on it. I think that, because of America' influence, English has practically become an international language, and I am glad for that. Anyway, Basque would be more difficult to learn for many people than either English or Esperanto. Personally I like Basque, but I regret the fact that it does not have grammatical forms for the Nominative and Accusative Cases [like He/Him; Who/Whom]. // Incidentally, contrarily to the common opinion that Basque is an isolate, not an Indo-European language (and hence unrelated to European languages), I found it to be -- "a posteriori" -- one of the oldest I.E. languages, as I am showing empirically in one chapter of my MS on the subject. // Please, hold on: It is an honour for a language or anything else [historiography; art; ...] to be Eurocentric, if we think of Europe before its present socialist/bastardized Europe. |

I prefer language diversification. It is more natural, and it keeps many unshared and uncommond traditions to be preserved and more comfortable at their zones. Usually, a language cannot live long without being changed.
No, unfortunately I'm only heard of it.
