]]> Comment on Welcome to Zagreb. Here’s your… Esperanto?? by Bill Chapman http://www.howiseelife.com/2010/06/27/welcome-to-zagreb-heres-your-esperanto/comment-page-1/#comment-383 Bill Chapman Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:59:49 +0000 http://www.howiseelife.com/2010/06/27/welcome-to-zagreb-heres-your-esperanto/#comment-383 This is good to see. It makes sense to learn this planned language. Learn Mandarin, and you’re tongue –tied in Japan. Learn Portuguese and you can’t even ask for a loaf of bread in Germany. Learn Arabic and you are reduced to miming in Russia. The obvious solution would be to make wider use of Esperanto. Esperanto hasn't yet gained the recognition it deserves. However, all things considered, it has actually done amazingly well. In just over 120 years, it has managed to grow from a drawing-board project with just one speaker in one country to a complete and living natural language with around 2,000,000 speakers in over 120 countries and a rich literature and cosmopolitan culture, with little or no official backing and even bouts of persecution. It hasn't taken the world by storm - yet - but it's slowly but surely moving in that direction, with the Internet giving it a significant boost in recent years. This is good to see.
