	Esperanto
		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.
		Ethnologue also states that there are 200 to 2000 native Esperanto speakers (''denaskuloj''), who have learned the language from birth from their Esperanto-speaking parents (this happens when Esperanto is the family language in an international family or sometimes in a family of devoted Esperantists).

	Esperanto (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		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 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 speakers seem to be more numerous in Europe and east Asia than in the Americas, Africa and Oceania, and more numerous in urban than in rural areas (Sikosek 2003).

		Esperanto (eo and epo in ISO 639) is the most widely spoken of the constructed languages.
		Esperanto has proven to be a good deal easier for speakers of European languages to learn as a second language than any national language (especially highly irregular and/or non-phonetic languages such as English, French, and Chinese).
		Because Esperanto is the most well-known of constructed languages, many who have been interested were unaware of these other languages, but there is information about these languages on the Internet as well.

	An Esperanto Overview
		Some speakers of Esperanto have become so enthusiastic about the language that they have chosen to use it at home, even when they share a common native language, and so their children learn the language as their native tongue.
		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).

	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.

	Native Esperanto speakers: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com - All about Native Esperanto speakers
		Often one or both parents choose to use Esperanto as the main language in communicating with the children, who thus acquire the language in the way as other children acquire their native languages.
		In that case one of the parents, usually the father, chooses to use Esperanto with the children in order to enrich their native knowledge and experience.
		It is therefore important to the language skill of native Esperanto speakers if parents regularly bring their children to Esperanto conventions.

Zamenhof of Warsaw, a linguist, author, and physician, in the 19th century, who based on the most widely spoken and taught natural languages of that era (in fact, a similar set of languages to those that are ancestral to modern English).

	EUROPE'S BABYLON
		To set Esperanto, associated in most people's minds with a woolly and basically unsuccessful utopianism rather than with everyday reality, on the same conceptual level as the leviathan of World English may seem to be carrying the debate beyond the bounds of relevancy.
		A cultured Esperanto speaker will further have at least passing acquaintance with a corpus of standard original and translated works and with the basic history of the language, knowledge of which is passed on through formal means (examinations), semi-formal means (seminars and popular books) and by interpersonal contact.
		Much has been written, mostly in Esperanto, on the possible reasons for this; but it is perhaps enough to remind ourselves that language is a uniquely complex social and psychological phenomenon which we are far from understanding in an analytical sense, even while we use it to write and read these words.

		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 belongs to the Esperantists: Developers of constructed languages are usually extremely possessive of their brain-children and reject any attempt by others to contribute or have a significant role in the development of the language.
		Esperanto is also credited as being the foundation for later competing projects, such as Interlingua and Occidental, but these languages lag far behind Esperanto in terms of speakers.
		The transliteration of Esperanto into ASCII is a topic known to cause flame wars and little constructive discussion, and the reduction of such behaviour is sometimes indicated as one of the main reasons to use Unicode and the proper accented letters.

		Esperanto is an International Auxiliary Language (IAL), "international" because it is spoken all over the world and has no home country, "auxiliary" because it is not meant to replace languages, but to be a commonly-held second language that everyone can use to speak to foreigners.
		Esperanto is irregular in that form-meaning relations are not strictly compositional, cf.
		Esperanto is like any other technological improvement; the infrastructure isn't there yet, but those who could envisage the long-term benefits decided to learn it, knowing they wouldn't be able to speak to many people for a while.

	LINGUIST List 4.900: Esperanto
		It is frequently the case that Esperanto is the only common language of the parents of native Esperanto speaking children.
		I may already have read more poetry and prose in Esperanto than the average native speaker of English does in his or her entire life, so I don't think of myself as being badly out of touch with Esperanto culture.
		Children who learn Esperanto only by speaking it with their parents are likely to end up with a knowledge of Esperanto that is limited in various ways.
