History: Esperanto

Source of version: 6 (current)

The most widely spoken ((constructed language)), designed by ((Zamenhof)) in the late
19th century as an international auxiliary language, or ((auxlang)).

See [http://www.esperanto.net].

Formerly (in the (('Tweeners)) era) a substantial number of Lojbanists were familiar with Esperanto. This no longer appears to be the case. __-> ((Lojban and Esperanto))__

''How many still do?'' nitcion, xorxes...maiky'elsym...cein...stivyn...

*I thought Esperanto was pretty famous. I first heard of it when I was seven or eight years old, long before I ever heard of Lojban. --((UserPagePlasticRaven|Plastic Raven))
** (1) Wiki chat sucks; use the mailing list.  (2) He means "familiar" as in "can speak".
***Oh. Well, it seems that most people who start with Lojban never really want to try any other constructed languages. --((UserPagePlasticRaven|Plastic Raven))

The gismu ((spero)) was suggested for Esperanto, but rejected.

''lei la esperanton prenu.''

'''''shouldn't this be "lei me la esperanton. prenu"?''''' ''If you want a tanru, yes.  But this isn't necessarily a tanru.  __lei la esperanton. prenu__ expands to __lei prenu pe la esperanton__ much as __le mi cukta__ expands to __le cukta pe mi__.''
