Wikipedia

Esperanto is a special language that was made to be very easy to learn. It was made in the end of the nineteenth century by Ludovic Lazarus Zamenhof, a Polish eye doctor. Zamenhof made Esperanto because he wanted there to be an easy language that everyone could learn, so that people from different parts of the world could easily talk together.

The name "Esperanto" comes from the name that Zamenhof used for himself when he wrote the first book about the new language, "Lingvo internacia. Antaŭparolo kaj plena lernolibro" ("An International Language - Introduction and Complete Textbook"). The book appeared in 1887. The name he used when writing this book was "Doktoro Esperanto", which means "Doctor Hopeful."

The original official name of the language was La Internacia Lingvo (The International Language), but speakers of the language soon started using the shorter name "Esperanto".

Esperanto culture.

People who speak Esperanto are often called Esperantists. No one knows exactly how many people now speak Esperanto. The most common guesses are between several hundred thousand and 2 million speakers around the world. It is estimated that 1000 people know Esperanto from birth (because they learned it from their parents, in addition to learning a national language, such as English or Polish.) There are many couples from 2 different countries who speak different languages, but have Esperanto as their common language.

Many people use Esperanto to communicate by mail or email or blogs wi
