Esperanto

Esperanto was developed in 1887 by Dr L.L Zamenhof who lived in the Western part of the Russian Empire. This language was developed to become a nutral international language for everyone to learn as a second language accross the globe. Zamehof's intention was not to only crate a language of equality between countries but to also resolve conflicts and bring peace.


Esperanto has acheived to become a language and there is tens of thousands throughout the world are known to speak it. There are organised groups such as the Universal Esperanto Association and has members in at least 114 countries.


This is an easy language to learn, research shows; it takes 1/3 of the time taken to learn a common studied language. The language is written phonemically (one sound= one letter) with regular grammar. When Esperanto is spoken it sounds like a siter language of Spanish or Italian. There is also Germanic roots within the language and simalar to English most words are Latin and Germanic.
