The Creation of Esperanto

Esperanto, developed by LL Zamenhof in the late 1800s, is a constructed language that aimed to be a universal second language. The language has its own community and culture, with its own books, music, and events. While it is often criticized by conlangers for its Eurocentric nature and unrealistic claims of being the easiest language to learn, Esperanto's structure and word building methods can offer valuable insights. It is highly regular, with nouns, adjectives, and adverbs marked by specific endings. The language also utilizes case marking and has a comprehensive correlative system. Overall, Esperanto provides an interesting example of a constructed language with its own culture and community.
