	HS Essay about Esperanto
		Esperanto is far from being the solution to the world's problems, but it has the potential to become the solution to the age-old quest for a working international language.
		Esperanto was first introduced in 1887 when Zamenhof published, with the support of his wife, a forty page booklet entitled Fundamento de Esperanto which included grammar, vocabulary, and translations of three poems, a letter, and selections from the Bible.
		There are four main reasons that Esperanto would be a better choice for this middle-man language than a national language: native speakers would be translating from their own languages, as opposed to from a foreign language; it is rich in rhymes; it has great flexibility and can hold the style of the original work (Auld).

	[No title]
		In 1968, after 20 hours of Esperanto and 120 hours of English vocabulary and grammar revision, I succeeded in passing the upper-grade State examination in both languages.
		Esperanto literature already in 1999 had a candidate for the Nobel Prize, even though he did not receive it (so, after 113 years Esperanto stands as the Hungarian literature does after 800 years).
		In addition, the original Esperanto literature is as significant as that of many small peoples, but its creators were born on the five continents and thus created a uniquely multicoloured literary culture.

	Esperanto: A Language for the Global Village - Chapter 19
		Knowing both their native language and Esperanto thoroughly, they are in an excellent position to do a particularly fine job of translating into Esperanto.
		Writers in these so-called minor languages are rarely considered for the Nobel Prize for literature because their languages have not been studied by the judges and because works from their languages are rarely translated into what might be called the major world languages.
		Esperanto gives writers from these “minor” languages a chance to find an audience which, although very small, is distributed over the entire world.

	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.

	Esperanto literature - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Esperanto literature began before the official publication of the constructed language; the language's creator, L.
		Zamenhof, translated poetry and prose into the language as he was developing it as a test of its completeness and expressiveness, and published several translations and a short original poem as an appendix to the first book on the language, Unua Libro.
		Esperanto has seen a solid production of material in Braille since the work of the blind Russian Esperantist Vasilij Eroŝenko, who wrote and taught in Japan and China in the 1910s and 1920s.

	Esperanto Studies: An Overview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The Esperanto scholar is thus increasingly required to be familiar with a broad intellectual tradition which draws insights from pure and applied linguistics, psychology, sociology and many other fields.
		Esperanto was a product of a particular moment in the intellectual history of northeastern Europe, a product also of a particular moment in the development of liberal Jewish thought in that region (Maimon 1978; Gold 1987).
		If we consider that translated literature, particularly in the early years of the language, has played an important role in the development of literature in Esperanto, this lack of a broad perspective can only be regarded as a major shortcoming.

	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).

	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.

		Esperanto has a vast literature, both translated and original on countless subjects, and there are also many periodicals and regular radio broadcasts in Esperanto.

		This course addresses the needs of advanced students in a variety of areas, including the linguistics of Esperanto; advanced language skills (translating, interpreting, composition, oratory); Esperanto literature; and social, cultural, and political aspects of the Esperanto community.

		A variety of material from Esperanto literature will be used, and students will be expected to use books in the library collection and resources on-line.

	From a Nobel Nominee who writes in Esperanto (Artificial languages) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Similarly, my love of the Esperanto language in no way diminishes my love of English; and that is why it sets my teeth on edge to hear foreigners massacring my mother tongue as they inevitably do when using it.
		What it means is that Esperanto is a work of art like a symphony or a painting, the creation of an artist of genius who was also, incidentally, a poet in every sense.
		When, as early as 1906, the wife of the Russian Roman Frenkel was 'killed by an unknown hand', it was through a poem in Esperanto that he chose to mourn her, a phenomenon which can be endlessly exemplified throughout Esperanto's history.

		Most of the beginners were young people; some came from outside the city – from neighboring provinces Baria-Vungtau and Binhduong; one was a young internet-generation Esperanto speakers, and one came from North Carolina in the United States (she was an American of Vietnamese origin, vacationing in her land of birth).
		70 Esperanto speakers from Germany, Lithuania, Poland and Kaliningrad met on Friday, December 2, in the General Consulate of the Republic of Poland in Kaliningrad on the occasion of the 5th Zamenhof Weekend, named for L. Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto.
		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.
