*”esperanto” is a “constructed international auxiliary language”*
.
(it is the most widely-spoken “constructed language” in the world)
(the Polish-Jewish ophthalmologist L. L. Zamenhof published the first book detailing Esperanto, Unua Libro, on “26 july 1887”)
(the name of Esperanto derives from Doktoro Esperanto (“Esperanto” translates as “one who hopes”), the pseudonym under which Zamenhof published “unua libro”)
.
(“zamenhof” had 3 goals, as he wrote in “unua libro”:
#1:
“to render the study of the language so easy as to make its acquisition mere play to the ‘learner'”
#2:
“to enable the learner to make direct use of his knowledge with persons of any nationality, whether the language be universally accepted or not; in other words, the language is to be directly a means of ‘international communication'”
#3:
“to find some means of overcoming the natural indifference of mankind, and disposing them, in the quickest manner possible, and en masse, to learn and use the proposed language as a living one, and not only in last extremities, and with the key at hand”
(up to 2,000,000 people worldwide, to varying degrees, speak Esperanto, including about 1,000 to 2,000 native speakers who learned Esperanto from birth)
(the “world esperanto association” has members in 120 countries)
(its usage is highest in ‘europe’, ‘east asia’, and ‘south america’)
(‘lernu!’, the most popular online learning platform for ‘esperanto’, reported 150,000 registered users in 2013, and sees between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors each month)
(with about 234,000 articles, Esperanto Wikipedia is the 32nd-largest Wikipedia as measured by the number of articles, and the largest Wikipedia in a ‘constructed language’)
(on ’22 february 2012′, ‘google translate’ added ‘esperanto’ as its 64th language)
(on ’28 may 2015′, the language learning platform ‘duolingo’ launched an ‘esperanto’ course for english speakers)
(as of ’14 september 2016′, over 525,000 users had signed up, with around 30 users completing the course every day)
(the first ‘world congress of esperanto’ was organized in france in 1905)
(since then, congresses have been held in various countries every year, with the exceptions of years during the ‘world wars’)
(although no country has adopted ‘esperanto’ officially, “Esperantujo” is the name given to places where it is spoken worldwide)
(‘esperanto’ was recommended by the ‘french academy of sciences’ in 1921 and recognized by UNESCO in 1954, which recommended in 1985 that international non-governmental organizations use ‘esperanto’)
(‘esperanto’ was the 32nd language accepted as adhering to the “Common European Framework of Reference for Languages” in 2007)
(‘esperanto’ is currently the language of instruction of the ‘International Academy of Sciences’ in ‘san marino’)
.
(‘esperanto’ is seen by many of its ‘speakers’ as an [‘alternative’ / ‘addition’] to the growing use of ‘english’ throughout the world, offering a language that is easier to learn than ‘english’)
