    An artificial language devised in 1887 as an international medium of communication, based on roots from the chief European languages. It retains the structure of these languages and has the advantage of grammatical regularity and ease of pronunciation.

      A [conlang] outlined in La internacia lingvo (The International Language), published in 1887 by [the languages] creator, L.L. Zamenhof. The name Esperanto means one who is hoping in the language, and was applied to the language because Zamenhof used the name Dr. Esperanto as a pseudonym. Designed specifically for ease of learning and use, Esperanto is the most widely spoken constructed interlanguage in the world, with an upper estimate of over two million speakers today (however, the lowest estimates place this at a few hundred thousand). In continuous use since its original publication, Esperanto has its own sizeable body of both original and translated literature, newsletters, blogs, and radio broadcasts. [Esperantos] use has skyrocketed with the advent of the internet, and user levels will soon be nigh impossible to gauge.
      Esperanto has appeared in popular culture on several occasions, usually for ridicule as a failed project. It was most notably used on signs in Charlie [Chaplains] The Great Dictator, for PA announcements in the dystopia film GATACA, and as the spoken language in William Shatners first sci fi film, Inkubus (Esperanto Inkubo).

          (1) The most successful constructed language so far. Its aimed to be an easy-to-learn and culturally neutral language for international communication. It has, however, been criticised for being too euro-centric and incorporating lots of grammatical features (case [marking], agreement of adjectives, several participles) that are quirky to speakers of many non-European languages.
          (2) A general term for something artifactual or unnatural, without [foundations] in the culture of [ordinary people].

            A language nobody speaks except for language nerds. A failed [international] language, but a great [hobby] language. If people stopped [expecting] everyone to learn it, so many more would
