	Zamenhof Day
		December 15 (Zamenhof Day) is the birthday of L.
		It is the most widely celebrated day in Esperanto culture.
		Thus they encourage Esperanto organizations which have gatherings on that day to add a book review or poetry reading to the program or to announce the publication of a new book.

	Esperanto - a critique
		Zamenhof first became interested in the idea of a planned international language in his schooldays, after rejecting Latin as too difficult to master.
		The sounds are merged and not pronounced separately, as with the j-diphthongs aj as in sky, ej as in day, oj as in boy, and uj roughly as in gooey.
		Zamenhof uses ks for hard x, but kz for the soft sound in example (after the example of the Russian), the latter being etymologically and phonetically unjustifiable.

		Zamenhof Day (also called Esperanto Book Day) is the most widely celebrated day in the Esperanto world, but it's generally limited to internal celebrations, like formal dinners held by local Esperanto clubs.
		But I decided that today would be as good a day as any other to make contact with others by promoting Esperanto a little bit at school.
		On this day the first about Esperanto was published.

	The Greatness of Dr. Zamenhof
		Zamenhof foresaw the wake of the peoples in Asia and Africa, which now are claming their place in the World Community of Nations.
		Zamenhof understood perfectly that a language is a social phenomenon, that if an International Language wants to play the role of real communication and of the thought of the international mass, this mass can be the owner of the language and make it evolve according to their needs.
		Zamenhof was not just the initiator of the language, but also its first writer and poet.

	Esperanto Literature: Part One
		Zamenhof's health had been deteriorating for years and even in 1911 he is reported as having told his other brother, Leon, that every international conference he attended was shortening his life by several years.
		It is not immediately obvious or easy to understand that although Zamenhof spent almost 15 years developing his International Language, once he had published it and it was accepted by thousands of people, his work, far from being over, had only just been done.
		The enormous amount of extra work which Zamenhof undertook was carried out at night, after a long day with his patients and produced no financial rewards.

	AIL - Esperanto
		Now it is undeniable that this language of Zamenhof's is a remarkable achievement, which must have struck those who came to it fresh from Schleyer's Volapük as an entirely new and better world.
		As for the vocabulary it is often said, by Esperantists and antagonists alike, that Zamenhof's genius showed itself in the way in which he took words with hardly any change from existing languages.
		Zamenhof, like the authors of all subsequent schemes, took most of his words from the vocabulary common to Romanic languages and English, much of which has also made its way into German, Russian, etc., but he was not really guided by any fixed principles either in his selection or in his phonetic treatment of words.

		McSchwartzenheimer Zamenhof, the creator of Esperanto, was born on March 17th, 67 B.C. in then Roman-occupied Dalmatia, to Tullius Gaius Zamenhof and Hobag McGirk.
		Zamenhof was inspired to create Esperanto after he was eaten by a Grue on a crisp fall day in October 1879.
		This was by design, because Zamenhof was a sexist Lemonist who wanted an excuse to keep women in small, sealed jars containing 85% isopropyl alcohol.

		Day of the Obscure is not just a time for sensing the irresolvable obscurity of our measly selves.
		Day of the Obscure 1993 was marked by a series of joint festivities and commemorative fish fry in our nation's capital, surely among the least obscure places on the planet.
		This Day of the Obscure was also commemorated by a wonderful trip to the Jerusalem Tax Museum.

		Esperanto's creator, Ludwik Zamenhof, was born in Białystok in the vicinity of Belarus.
		There is evidence that Zamenhof referred also to his native dialect when constructing Esperanto.
		However, Zamenhof first used the Ŭ in 1887 in the Unua Libro, whereas the first attested use of Ŭ in Belarusian was in 1891 in a poetry collection by Francišak Bahuševič.

	Why Ido?
		Zamenhof himself rejected Volapük, despite its relatively widespread acceptance at the time, because he thought that the world deserved and needed something better.
		Some of the improvements made to Esperanto in developing Ido were, however, proposed at one time by Zamenhof himself in the light of experience with using his language (but not accepted by his followers).
		It is ironic that, apparently partly due to a misunderstanding by Zamenhof of the word 'primitive' - intended in the sense of 'original' but interpreted by him as meaning 'crude' - in connection with his (original) Esperanto, he took offence and refused to accept the Committee's unanimous verdict.

		The creator of Esperanto was Dr. Ludovic Lazarus Zamenhof, a Jewish physician born in Bielostok in Poland.
		The word Esperanto means "one who hopes," and Zamenhof hoped to bring about world peace through universal understanding through an auxiliary international language.
		At first it was intended to limit the use of these stamps to international, correspondence only, but later, they were available for general use all over the U.S.S.R. Although not catalogued highly, they are among the most elusive of the Soviet commemoratives.

	Eriketo: Zamenhof Day/Zamenhof-tago
		On 15 December 1859 Ludovic Lazarus Zamenhof was born in Białystok, now Poland, then part of the Russian Empire.
		He would one day become an opthamologist and publish a 'created' language under the pen-name Doktoro Esperanto (Esperanto = one who hopes).
		Today, however, Esperanto-speakers worldwide celebrate Zamenhof Day (also known as Esperanto Day) in honour and memory of the gentle doctor who dared to dream that neutral and equal communication between human beings was possible.

		Zamenhof's words in his 1905 speech were still equally relevant a hundred years later: "Hodiaŭ ni renkontas, ne kiel francoj kun britoj, aŭ kiel rusoj kun poloj, sed kiel homoj kun homoj" ["Today we meet, not as Frenchmen meeting Britons, or Russians meeting Poles, but as people meeting people"].
		The parade led them to the Zamenhof square, where a plaque and bust of Esperanto's originator, L. Zamenhof, commemorate the original 1905 event.

		But with the EU estimated to be translating 3,150,000 words a day, at an average cost of 23p a word, Esperantists feel their language merits more official recognition.
		Zamenhof is said to have spent many hours in front of the mirror sounding out his words, trying also to make the language enjoyable to hear, she said.
		Zamenhof's approach enabled Esperanto to emulate the process by which natural languages developed, allowing it to grow and gain more users, Pool said.

	cars - Esperanto
		Zamenhof declared that "Esperanto belongs to the Esperantists" and moved to the background once the language was published, allowing others to share in the early development of the language.
		People tend to create slang and regional variants in the language(s) they use day to day, rather than those used primarily for intercommunication with different-language speakers; in the case of Esperanto, such variations, if heavily different from the official Fundamento version, would make universal comprehension less likely and negate the intended purpose of the language.
		Zamenhof's intention was to create an easy-to-learn language, to serve as an international auxiliary language, rather than to replace all existing languages in the world.

	An Esperanto Overview
		Zamenhof, who grew up in a polyglot society, was convinced that a common language would be necessary to resolve many of the problems that lead to strife and conflict.
		He began work on his planned language, which he would eventually call "Lingvo Internacia", as a junior in high school, and eventually published the first textbook of the language (for speakers of Russian) in the 1887, at the time of his marriage and early in his medical career.
		This word, which in Esperanto means "a person who is hoping", was adopted by Zamenhof as a pseudonym for his first book.

		A: Day of the Obscure (DOTO) was started in 1987 in reaction against the hero-worship idealism of such Famous Peoples Days as Columbus Day, "Presidents'" Day, MLK Day, etc. With the possible exception of Guy Fawkes Day, no popular holidays celebrate any truly interesting people, which makes sense: fame and true significance are opposites.
		A: Every year, Day of the Obscure has a catchy slogan to express just what it is that makes Obscurity so wonderful.
