thanks a lot for all the informed comment. we’re not properly schooled when it comes to Esperanto. We must admit our knowledge is superficial…but with all the discussion, we’ve become really curious and eager to know more about it.

Esperanto is not “mostly spoken by Jewish people”. Its creator was Jewish, though, which might be why Hitler and Stalin considered Esperanto the language of jews and spies.

The wikipedia page on esperanto has a good overview of the language if you’re interested. :)

Don’t know where you “searched” to come up with those rather bizarre tidbits of info on Esperanto, but I guess it wasn’t this Wikipedia article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto
When/if you ever get around to that separate thesis paper you mentioned, you might like to explore the 7 points of the Prague Manifesto:
http://lingvo.org
and/or try listening to one of the daily Esperanto broadcasts from Radio Polonia:

There is no doubt that ignorance, rather than prejudice is holding Esperanto back.
This is why I ask you to view.

BTW konigi is Esperanto for “to make known”.
koni is to know.
Esperanto systematically uses suffixes and prefixes to adjust the basic meaning of the root.

It was interesting to see the mention of Esperanto. Your readers may gain from this the idea that Esperanto is something historical or experimental. In fact this planned second language is spoken by a growing population of people across the world.

Take a look at http://www.esperanto.net

I hope you do find time to give Esperanto the attention it deserves. It is far from obscure!

Esperanto is not “obscure” :-P

“It’s mostly spoken by Jewish people”
Maybe it was mostly spoken by Jewish people *before* Hitler and Stalin. :(
