	Esperanto
		Esperanto was an easier language to learn than Volapük, with a dramatically simpler grammar and a vocabulary that was more recognizable to speakers of European languages.
		That Esperanto is used as widely as it is is a testament to the language's elegant design, including its straightforward grammar, its flexible and recognizable vocabulary and its phonetic spelling.
		Esperanto is most noticeable for its ability to form a large variety of words from a small collection of roots.

	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 is often used to access an international culture, including a large corpus of original as well as translated literature.

	Esperanto vocabulary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Esperanto occupies a middle ground between "naturalistic" conlangs such as Interlingua, which borrow words en masse from their source languages with little internal derivation, and a priori conlangs such as Solresol, in which the words have no historical connection to other languages.
		In Esperanto, root words are borrowed and retain much of the form of their source language, whether the phonetic form (eks- from ex-) or orthographic form (teamo from team).
		Modern international vocabulary, much of it Latin or Greek in origin, is of course used as well, but frequently for a family of related words only the root will be borrowed directly, and the rest will be derived from it using Esperanto means of word formation.

	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).

	Esperanto FAQ: Part 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		About 75 % of Esperanto's vocabulary comes from Latin and Romance languages (especially French), about 20 % comes from Germanic languages (German and English), and the rest comes mainly from Slavic languages (Russian and Polish) and Greek (mostly scientific terms).
		The words derived from Romance languages were chosen to be as recognizable as possible throughout the world.
		Someone knowing only Russian and looking at a text in Esperanto would immediately recognize perhaps 40 % of the words, without even having studied the language.

	Is Esperanto´s Vocabulary too Large? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In October (1992), an interesting discussion occurred in the computer-networked forum soc.culture.esperanto, on the issue of whether or not Esperanto's vocabulary is easy to learn.
		that Esperanto often abandons structural consistency in favour of using `international' root words, which are supposed to be easier to learn.
		One of the major reasons why Esperanto is difficult is because of its excessively large vocabulary of root words.

	Update on Esperanto
		Esperanto morphemes are invariant and almost indefinitely recombinable into different words, so the language also has much in common with isolating languages like Chinese, while its internal word structure has affinity with agglutinative languages like Turkish, Swahili and Japanese.
		Positive effects of the prior learning of Esperanto on the study of both first and second languages are suggested by experimental and anecdotal evidence.
		The first symposium of Esperanto speakers in Arab countries took place in Amman in 2000, the sixth All-Americas Congress was held in Cuba in 2004, and the fourth Asian Congress took place in Kathmandu in 2005.

		Esperanto is a language introduced in 1887 by Dr. L.L. Zamenhof after years of development.
		He proposed Esperanto as a second language that would allow people who speak different native languages to communicate, yet at the same time retain their own languages and cultural identities.
		Another description of Esperanto is A Key to the International Language Esperanto by R. Kent Jones and Christopher M. Zervic.

	Vocabulary of Esperanto
		The Esperanto name for Poland is Pollando, because it is a compound of pol− (Pole) and lando (country), thus, “the land of the Poles”.
		One of the most interesting features of Esperanto vocabulary is the ability to collapse it in upon itself, so that fewer words are necessary to name the same items that (for example) English does.
		Another way of compacting the vocabulary is to use one word in multiple contexts with the same meaning, rather than a separate word for each context.

	Esperanto: A Language for the Global Village - Chapter 17
		Because of this Esperanto has added to its vocabulary a large number of words that are similar to the words used in English and the Romance languages, words such as astronaŭto, aŭtomobilo, telefono, spacŝipo, madrigalo, piramido and highly technical terms that would normally be known only to experts such as heterodino, dolikocefala, rinoskopo and hematologio.
		Proponents of an easily learned non-simplistic Esperanto vocabulary maintain that it is not necessary to keep adding that kind of learning chore when it comes to creating new words.
		In practice very large numbers of Esperanto words are formed by each of these two methods, one of which favors those who know a Romance or Germanic tongue, and one of which provides an easier way of learning words to those people who do not know a European tongue.

	Esperanto FAQ (Oftaj demandoj) Part 1/2
		Esperanto's purpose is not to replace any other language, but to supplement them: Esperanto would be used as a neutral language when speaking with someone who doesn't know one's own language.
		Esperanto's flexible word-order allows speakers from different language families to use the structures with which they are most familiar and still speak perfectly intelligible and grammatically correct Esperanto.
		Although Esperanto is a planned language, it has developed well beyond the point at which some authoritative person or group can dictate language practice, however great the temptation may be to "tinker" with the language.

	Esperanto FAQ: Part 9
		Thus, it is as unrelated to Esperanto as English is to Arabic, for example.
		First of all, there are thousands of languages in the world and if Esperanto attempted to create its vocabulary from even 10 % of them you would simply get a language which would be very difficult to learn for everybody instead of the real Esperanto which is relatively easy for all.
		In fact, what makes Esperanto a truly "international" language (as distinct from a "world" language like English) is its extraordinary semantic flexibility which allows speakers from different language families to translate their own thought patterns directly into Esperanto and produce something which is perfectly intelligible and grammatically correct.

		The title Esperanto A.S.A.P. (As Soon As Possible) is intended to indicate that this book is aimed at intelligent readers who are serious in their intent to gain a reasonable grasp of this language quickly and are, therefore, prepared to make a considerable effort on their part.
		Six Esperanto letters carry accents- these are not just modified versions of the unaccented letters but separate letters in their own right.
		This has the problem that the letter actually exists in Esperanto and there is chance (admittedly one in several millions) that this could produce confusion.

	Esperanto unue!
		"Esperanto should be taught in our schools because, if for no other reason, it would give our linguistically isolated and complacent students a chance to experience reasonable knowledge of another language, and to increase knowledge of their own".
		When translating into Esperanto, the translator recognizes the idioms, and translates them into plain language (since Esperanto is not loaded with idioms as are national languages), because he is aware of these idioms, and is careful to be sure that others from different cultures will not be confused.
		In fact, what makes Esperanto a truly "international" language (as distinct from a "world" language like English) is its extraordinary semantic flexibility which allows speakers from different language families to translate their own thought patterns directly into Esperanto and produce something which is perfectly intelligible and grammaticaly correct.
