Why there's always someone that say this when you mention Esperanto ? |
| 5 |
1) It's not an attempt at standarizing common languages for Europe, but an |
| 6 |
attemp to create a common language for the world. |
| 7 |
2) I DO have a need for it because I use it, I write/read/speak it. |
| 8 |
3) It didn't fail. A language like this cannot be expected to be spoken for |
| 9 |
day to night, but it has survived more than 100 years (although The Soviet |
| 10 |
Union, The Nazi goverment, The Sadam Husein goverment and a lot of other |
| 11 |
military and facist goverments did the best to kill as much esperantists as |
| 12 |
possible), it is spoken by 2 million people worldwide and the number is |
| 13 |
increasing. |
