Esperanto is a famous universal (actually
Indo-European by its features) artificially
constructed language meant for facilitating
international communication. It has
Romanic-Germanic vocabulary and Slavic
phonetics. The name of the language comes
from the pen-name "Doktoro Esperanto",
"Doctor Hopeful" of Dr. Zamenhof, who
created the language more than 100 years
ago. According to one linguist there are
1000 people speaking Esperanto as a mother
tongue even though the language is
artificial. Millions of people understand
it to some extent.

Those who like international languages
might be interested to introduce
themselves to Novial and Interlingua, too.
