Word of the Day: Esperanto

Esperanto was created in the late 1870s and early 1880, and is the most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language. The goal was to create an easy-to-learn and politically neutral language that would serve as a universal second language to foster peace and international understanding.

Can I add that Esperanto is not only a great idea, but is now a living language.

The study course http://www.lernu.net is now receiving 120,000 hits per month.

That can't be bad :)
