About the language
Esperanto is the world’s most widely spoken constructed language. It was created in 1887 by Ludwik Zamenhof who dreamt of a universal language to promote international peace and understanding. Today, Esperanto has a thriving community around the globe, with high numbers of speakers in Northern Europe, Brazil and China. As an Esperanto speaker, you can stay with other Esperantists for free all around the world using the Pasporta Servo – Passport Service – programme.

Esperanto
is the world’s most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language. Created by the Warsaw-based ophthalmologist L. L. Zamenhof in 1887, it was intended to be a universal second language for international communication, or “the international language” (la lingvo internacia). Zamenhof first described the language in Dr. Esperanto’s International Language (Esperanto: Unua Libro), which he published under the pseudonym Doktoro Esperanto. Early adopters of the language liked the name Esperanto and soon used it to describe his language. The word esperanto translates into English as “one who hopes”.
Within the range of constructed languages, Esperanto occupies a middle ground between “naturalistic” (imitating existing natural languages) and a priori (where features are not based on existing languages). Esperanto’s vocabulary, syntax and semantics derive predominantly from languages of the Indo-European group. The vocabulary derives primarily from Romance languages, with some of it influenced from Germanic languages.One of the language’s most notable features is its extensive system of derivation, where prefixes and suffixes may be freely combined with roots to generate words, making it possible to communicate effectively with a smaller set of words.
Fun facts of language
- There is nothing irregular about this language: nouns always end in -o, adjectives always end in -a, and there is only one conjugation to each verb!
- At an language get-together, you may hear the phrase ‘ne krokodilu!’ – don’t crocodile – which is an instruction not to speak your native language instead of Esperanto.
- Despite being a constructed language, there are now about 1000 ‘denaska’ – native – speakers of Esperanto.
- In Esperanto, if you want to say ‘it’s all Greek to me’ you say ‘ĝi estas laŭ mi Volapukaĵo’ which literally translates as ‘It’s all Volapük to me’!
