Esperanto

Recommended Posts

Esperant is a constructed international auxiliary language. It is the most widely spoken constructed language in the world.[6] Its name derives from Doktoro Esperanto ("Esperanto" translates as "one who hopes"), the pseudonym under which physician L. L. Zamenhof published the first book detailing Esperanto, the Unua Libro, on 26 July 1887. Zamenhof's goal was to create an easy-to-learn, politically neutral language that would transcend nationality and foster peace and international understanding between people with different languages.

Up to 2,000,000 people worldwide, to varying degrees, speak Esperanto, including perhaps 2,000[dubious discuss]native speakers who learned Esperanto from birth. The World Esperanto Association has members in 120[7] countries. Its usage is highest in Europe, East Asia, and South America.[8]lernu!, the most popular online learning platform for Esperanto, reported 150,000 registered users in 2013, and sees between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors each month.[9] With about 226,000 articles, Esperanto Wikipedia is the 31st-largest Wikipedia as measured by the number of articles,[10] and the largest Wikipedia in a constructed language.[11] On 22 February 2012, Google Translate added Esperanto as its 64th language.[12] On 28 May 2015, the language learning platform Duolingo launched an Esperanto course for English speakers. As of 14 January 2016[update], over 260,000 users had signed up.[13][14]

The first World Congress of Esperanto was organized in France in 1905. Since then, congresses have been held in various countries every year, with the exceptions of years during the world wars. Although no country has adopted Esperanto officially, Esperanto was recommended by the French Academy of Sciences in 1921 and recognized by UNESCO in 1954, which recommended in 1985 that international non-governmental organizations use Esperanto. Esperanto was the 32nd language accepted as adhering to the "Common European Framework of Reference for Languages" in 2007.[15]

Esperanto is currently the language of instruction of the International Academy of Sciences in San Marino.[16]

Esperanto is seen by many of its speakers as an alternative or addition to the growing use of English throughout the world, offering a language that is easier to learn than English.[17]
