Topic: Esperanto pronunciation

	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.
		An estimate of the number of Esperanto speakers was made by Sidney S. Culbert, a retired psychology professor of the University of Washington and a longtime Esperantist, who tracked down and tested Esperanto speakers in sample areas of dozens of countries over a period of twenty years.
		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 orthography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Esperanto is written in a Latin alphabet of twenty-eight letters, upper and lower case.
		(See Esperanto pronunciation.) There is a nearly one-to-one correspondence of letter to sound; the only significant exceptions being the sequence kz, as in ekzemple, which is frequently pronounced [gz]; and borrowed words such as ŭato that use ŭ for initial [w], which is normally an allophone of v.
		The Signuno alphabet deviates from international norms (that is, ASL with an Irish T) in that all letters are upright, with a straight wrist: the G is simply turned upright, while the H, P, Q are taken from Irish, the J from Russian, and the Z appears to be unique to Signuno.

	Main Heading Goes Here
		The main benefit of Esperanto is that as a systematic, regular language, it is many times easier to learn that the national, ethnic languages.
		Esperanto speakers can make these claims by pointing to the regular verb system, the perfect orthography (pronunciation as words are spelled), the regularity of accents and ease of word building.
		Esperanto speakers can easily be found in major cities all over the world and at annual congresses attended by thousands of speakers.

	cars - Esperanto
		Esperanto is not an official language of any country, although there were plans at the beginning of the 20th century to establish Neutral Moresnet as the world's first Esperanto state, and the shortlived artificial island micronation of Rose Island used Esperanto as its official language in 1968.
		Esperanto is primarily agglutinative (Wells 1989 calculates an index of agglutinativity of 0.9999, higher than any non-constructed language), with all grammatical function suffixes appearing at the ends of words, and a mix of prefixes and suffixes with lexical meanings.
		Esperanto is written using a modified version of the Latin alphabet, with six accented letters: ĉ, ĝ, ĥ, ĵ, ŝ (c, g, h, j, and s with circumflex), and ŭ (u with breve).

	The alphabet and sounds of Esperanto
		Esperanto words are divided into syllables in the usual way, centered around vowels (and diphthongs).
		For instance, in Esperanto, the word morgaux has two syllables, not three, and is pronounced mór-gow, not mor-gáh-oo (the accent mark denotes on which syllable the accent goes); the two vowels constituting a diphthong should never be separated into different syllables.
		In Esperanto, a few flaps (say, between one and three) of the tongue is sufficient; there should always be a trill, but it shouldn't be too long (as in some instances of Spanish pronunciation).

	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 Pronounciation : Esperanta Prononco
		When I attended my first Esperanto conference, I discovered that people spoke Esperanto with regional accents, much the way English is spoken in different ways in different parts of the world.
		Even though there is a supposedly neutral Esperanto accent, most people betray their country of origin in the way they pronounce.
		The definitive Esperanto pronunciation would be professor John C. Wells and his 45 phonograph record that came out in the 70s.

	Esperanto
		Esperanto’s only definite article is la, which does not vary according to gender or number: la domo ("the house"), la domoj ("the houses").
		Of course, the bottom line is this: Esperanto is the best known of all the conlangs, and if there's any hope at all for the international language movement, it rests largely on the success of Esperanto, the language against which all other language projects are likely to be judged.
		Esperanto may not be the best solution to the world's language problem — it may even be the worst — but where other constructed languages have scarcely made it beyond the pamphlet or web page they were proposed on, Esperanto is a fact.

	Sound of r (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		If you use this [r] when you speak Esperanto (or most other languages), you will be regarded as having a substantial English accent.
		Actually the rules of Esperanto pronunciation are not tightly specified, and relative to /r/ there is no authoritative rule that says that it has to be pronounced one way rather than another.
		In my opinion the Esperanto sound should be the flapped version and not the trilled version.
