Pekmez 207 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 English has way to much baggage with it. Learn Esperanto http://en.lernu.net/ Esperanto ( listen (help·info)) is the most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language.[1] Its name derives from Doktoro Esperanto ("Esperanto" translates as "one who hopes"), the pseudonym under which L. L. Zamenhof published the first book detailing Esperanto, the Unua Libro, on July 26, 1887. Zamenhof's goal was to create an easy-to-learn and politically neutral language that transcends nationality and would foster peace and international understanding between people with different regional and/or national languages.

Elle Eaux Elle 2,298 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 Esperanto has always been a flop and will always be one tbh Besides, all languages come with different cultures - the world would become a cultural wasteland if, God forbid, everybody spoke the same language.

s4a 13,715 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 I live in a country that gets mad when you threaten to go to the metric system. I don't think this language would go over very well. Language is a part of culture. There would be too many regions that would resist it completely for it to be effective tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otaku 91 Posted July 8, 2013 Share Posted July 8, 2013 It would be cool if everyone could speak the same language, but I doubt it will ever work. I mean Mandarin is becoming more popular, seeing how fast China is rising, but I don't think that's going to make it that much big either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popsugar 2,354 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Esperanto? I remember reading about that... long ago. It would be better if more native English speakers took the time and effort to learn another language, rather than everyone in the world learning a new language that effectively gets rid of many cultural differences, like people have said. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
