	Esperanto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Esperanto is particularly prevalent in the northern and eastern countries of Europe; in China, Korea, Japan, and Iran within Asia; in Brazil, Argentina, and Mexico in the Americas; and in Togo and Madagascar in Africa.
		Esperanto is often used to access an international culture, including a large corpus of original as well as translated literature.
		Esperanto was the language of the house, and Orwell was disadvantaged by not speaking it, which may account for some antipathy towards the language[2].

	Esperanto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Esperanto is an "artificial" language first published in 1887 by Ludovik L. Zamenhof (1859-1917) after extensive thought and experimentation.
		His efforts were brilliantly successful in that Esperanto is the only deliberately created language to have generated and sustained a body of fluent (or even semi-fluent) speakers.
		Of course Esperanto has not succeeded in achieving sufficient international visibility to be used in all the contexts where it would be useful.

	Esperanto language, alphabet and pronunciation
		Esperanto is an international auxiliary language devised in 1887 by Dr. Ludovic Lazar Zamenhof (1859-1917), a Jewish Eye Doctor, under the pseudonym of "Doktoro Esperanto".
		Zamenhof's first work on Esperanto, the "Unua Libro" (First Book) published in 1887, contained 920 roots from which tens of thousands of words could be formed, together with the "Fundamenta Gramatiko" (Grammatical Foundations), which consisted of 16 basic grammatical rules.
		The majority of Esperanto roots are based on Latin, though some vocabulary is taken from modern Romance languages, and from English, German, Polish and Russian.

	Jordan: Note on Esperanto
		Esperanto is an attractive object of interest for the body of literature that has been created in it and for the cross-cultural contacts that can be made through it.
		Esperanto is obviously interesting as a linguistic object, although professional linguistics at the moment is much concerned about "native-speaker intuitions" and therefore pays little attention to a language used virtually exclusively by non-native speakers (or, for that matter, to ancient languages).
		Designed as a universally accessible means of communication, Esperanto is one of the great functional projects for the emancipation of humankind -- one which aims to let every individual citizen participate fully in the human community, securely rooted in his or her local cultural and language identity yet not limited by it.

	ESH - Esperanto Society of Houston
		ESH is a group of Esperanto-enthusiasts who promote the use of the international language Esperanto by organizing free classes for the public; radio shows discussing the language problem and its solution, Esperanto; and other events.
		Esperanto is a beautiful and expressive language created in 1887 to be an easy-to-learn second language for the entire world.
		Esperanto's creator Doctor L. Zamenhof based it on many different languages including English, Spanish, German, Italian, and French so that the words would be familiar to as many people as possible and make the language politically and culturally neutral.

		Esperanto did however not know the sales figures of their album and had to rely on the reactions of the public to evaluate their success.
		Esperanto band members were flabbergasted as they knew their music had real appeal, particularly given the growing success of their concerts.
		Esperanto was probably also a victim of it’s formula as, even with a reduced line-up on the last album, it still had eight musicians and large technical staff who had to be housed, fed and watered.

	OHCHR: Esperanto () - Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Esperanto falls within the category of planned international auxiliary languages, which, as such, are always lingua francas (languages for interethnic communication) and therefore used as second languages.
		So far, Esperanto - whose history dates back 1887, when the first handbook was published by L. Zamenhof, a Polish eye specialist - has been the most successful planned auxiliary language.
		About 80% of the word roots are of Latin-Romance origin, therefore Esperanto is close to the Indo-European language family as regards vocabulary and grammar.

		It was registered as a not-for-profit organization in 1973 with the goals of disseminating knowledge about the Esperanto language to the public, providing members with access to worldwide Esperanto culture, and engaging in cultural and educational Esperanto activities.
		Esperanto is considerably easier to learn than national languages, since its design is far simpler and more regular than such languages.

	An Esperanto Overview
		Esperanto was effectively banned in the Soviet Union until 1956, discouraged until 1979, and kept under strict governmental control until the late 1980s.
		Esperanto organizations were banned in Germany in the mid-1930s, and Esperanto speakers in the territories occupied during World War II were either discouraged (generally in the occupied West) or exterminated (more common in the occupied East).
		Esperanto was barely tolerated in Romania under the Ceaucescu regime, and most Esperanto books and magazines were excluded from the country (they were nonetheless smuggled in on a regular basis by Bulgarian, Hungarian and Jugoslavian Esperanto speakers).

	A Key to the Inter-National Language Esperanto
		The six letters unique to Esperanto, ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ and ŭ, were introduced so that every sound could be represented by just one letter (unlike combinations such as "ch" in "church" or "sh" as in "shoe").
		In Esperanto, q, w, x and y are absent, but appear in foreign names, and are treated like ç, ñ, ð, ø, ß etc.
		Esperanto words consist of an assembly of parts put together in a logical fashion.

	How and why to learn Esperanto
		Esperanto means hopeful, and its speakers are hopeful that it will be accepted for what it is. Because Esperantists (Esperanto speakers) are dispersed throughout the world, it sometimes unites people who speak vastly different languages (i.e.
		Also, Esperanto has been proposed by some (though not all agree) computer linguists to be used to program and interact with a computer on the grounds that it would be easier to teach a man-made language to a man-made computer than to teach it an irregular, exclusionary national language.
		Esperanto has received a lot of criticism (much of it undeserved) for the fact that it aims to be neutral, and not allied with any nation.

		He emphasized Kaliningrad's strategic importance, pointed out that the one-time hobbyist Esperanto movement was becoming ever more important and professional, and that the annual Zamenhof Weekends contribute to cooperation and exchange of ideas between ordinary inhabitants of Kaliningrad and of neighboring countries.

	Ranto (JBR AntiZamenhofism)
		Esperanto's pseudo-agglutinative system of affix-accretion (copied from Volapük) is only one possible approach to derivation - cf Arabic triliterals - but it is at least straightforward (see Appendix T).
		Esperanto is notable among auxlang schemes for having possessed a well-stocked dictionary from the start, made up from words out of an assortment of European languages.
		Esperanto nouns inflect both for number and for case; ie, more than is considered necessary in most European languages.
