Why Esperanto?
Various educators have estimated that Esperanto can be learned in anywhere from one quarter to one twentieth the amount of time required for other languages.
- Means it is a language that you need the least time to learn!
It is the most widely spoken international auxiliary language - a language meant for communication between people from different nations who do not share a common native language.
This language even has its own flag...
So in short, Esperanto was created by this man known as L. L Zamenhof, a Polish - Jewish ophthalmologist in the late 1870s and early 1880s
There were previous attempts of forming states or countries that used this language
- plans in the early 20th century to establish Neutral Moresnet as the world's first Esperanto State.
Neutral Moresnet at that time was a condominium that existed between present day Belgium and Germany, no its not a building, in terms of international law a condominium is a territory where two or more independent powers share equally and apply their rights jointly.
- The self proclaimed artificial island micro-nation of Rose Island adopted Esperanto as its official language.
What is micro-nation?
entities that claim to be independent nations or states but which are not recognized by world governments or major international organizations.
Example, The Principality of Sealand and the Republic of Rose Island.
These micro-nations really make me laugh, for example this is Rose Island
I'm serious! That is a nation lol! With its own flag and everything!Well who knew from Esperanto I would end up talking about Micro nations, many interesting things in this world that we do not know about eh?
