Even Duolingo teaches it. And Google Translate translates it. Huh.
From Wikipedia: âEsperanto is a constructed international auxiliary language. It is the most widely spoken constructed language in the world.[5] Its name derives from Doktoro Esperanto(âEsperantoâ translates as âone who hopesâ), the pseudonym under which physician and linguist L. L. Zamenhof published the first book detailing Esperanto, the Unua Libro, on 26 July 1887. Zamenhofâs goal was to create an easy-to-learn, politically neutral language that would transcend nationality and foster peace and international understanding between people with different languages.Up to 2,000,000 people worldwide fluently or actively speak Esperanto, including perhaps 2,000 native speakers who learned Esperanto from birth. Esperanto has a notable presence in 120[6] countries. Its usage is highest in Europe, East Asia, and South America.[7]lernu!, the most popular online learning platform for Esperanto, reported 150,000 registered users in 2013, and sees between 150,000 and 200,000 visitors each month.[8] With about 220,000 articles, Esperanto Wikipedia is the 32nd-largest Wikipedia as measured by the number of articles,[9] and the largest Wikipedia in a constructed language.[10] On 22 February 2012, Google Translate added Esperanto as its 64th language.[11] On 28 May 2015, the language learning platform Duolingo launched an Esperanto course for English speakers. As of 21 August 2015, over 100,000 users had signed up.[12][13]
