The Esperanto language

Esperanto is counted among the constructed languages. Constructed languages are deliberately created, so they follow a clear plan. Elements from different languages are mixed in the process. In this way, constructed languages should be easy to learn for as many people as possible. Esperanto was first introduced in Warsaw in 1887. Its founder was the doctor Ludwik L. Zamenhof (pseudonym: Dr. Esperanto, the Hopeful). He believed that communication problems were the main cause of unhappiness. Therefore, he wanted to create a neutral language that brought people together. Today Esperanto is the most well-known constructed language in the world. It is also associated with goals like tolerance and civil rights. Esperanto is largely Indo-European oriented. The majority of the vocabulary, for example, is originally Romance. People in more than 120 countries are proficient in the language. They get together regularly in clubs and at international conventions. Learn Esperanto and find new friends!
