Do you know anybody speaking Esperanto??
If I'm not totally wrong this was an artificial language invented as a universal communication solution. Which is quite funny, because what is English if not the universal language of the world (at least for the next 10 years)?


Similar to Volapük, an other constructed language which is irrelevant in "real Life".

ditto!    though a friend of mine is trying to convince me that German is easier...    Anyhow how good luck!

And Kahless, i loved the idea behind Volapük: 'Johann Martin Schleyer, a Roman Catholic priest in Baden, Germany. Schleyer felt that God had told him in a dream to create an international language.
That's the thing about racism, though, most of it is covert.

Some people think football [and soccer] is a matter of life and death.... I can assure them it is much more serious than that.

Esperanto was created to be a universal language and it has been around for quite some time - created in 1887.

Can't agree to that, except if the world ends in the middle of Europe. East of this line English is not really a universal language, but russian and mandarin... Only a fraction of the world population can speak english...

Mandarin is no "universal" language. There are 12 mayor dialects of mandarin in china alone, and it's not like BE or AE, those people really don't understand each other.
