Esperanto

Esperanto is an international auxiliary language devised in 1887 by Dr. Ludwig Lazarus Zamenhof (1859-1917), an eye doctor, under the pseudonym of "Doktoro Esperanto". He originally called the language "La Internacia Lingvo" (The International Language), but it soon became known as Esperanto, which means "the hoping one".


Zamenhof was born in the Polish city of Bialystok which at that time was home to a polyglot, multiethnic mixture of Poles, Russians, Jews, Lithuanians and Germans. He believed that much of the distrust and misunderstanding between the different ethnic groups was a result of language differences, so he resolved to create an international language which could be used as an neutral lingua franca and could help break down the language barriers.


Zamenhof's first work on Esperanto, the "Unua Libro" (First Book) published in 1887, contained 920 roots from which tens of thousands of words could be formed, together with the "Fundamenta Gramatiko" (Fundamental Grammar), which consisted of 16 basic grammatical rules. Zamenhof renounced all rights to Esperanto and encouraged comments and suggestions on the development of the language. The first Universal Esperanto Congress (La Unua Universala Esperanto Kongreso) was held at Boulogne-sur-Mer in 1905.


The majority of Esperanto roots are based on Latin, though some vocabulary is taken from modern Romance languages, and from English, German, Polish and Russian. Roots can be combined with affixes to form new words, for example: lerni = to learn, lernejo = a school, lernanto = a pupil/student, lernejestro = a headmaster. The affixes can also stand alone: ejo = place, estro = leader/head, etc. The grammar has many influences from Slavic languages, although it is greatly simplified in comparison to them.


Spelling conventions are somewhat similar to Polish, though Zamenhof came up with some new letters for Esperanto (Ĉĉ, Ĝĝ, Ĥĥ, Ĵĵ, Ŝŝ, Ŭŭ). These letters are often replaced with ch, gh, jh or cx, gx, jx, or c', g', j', etc. Zamenhof recognised this problem and favoured using ch, gh, etc when the special letters were not available.


Today Esperanto is the most widely used international auxiliary language. The Universal Esperato Association (UEA) / La Universala Esperanto-Asocio has members in 120 countries, and there are national Esperanto associations in 70 countries. Esperanto is most spoken in Japan, China, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, the USA, Brazil, Belgium and the UK. The number of Esperanto speakers is not known for certain, however the UEA estimates that there are hundreds of thousands and possibly millions of them. The places were Esperanto is spoken are known collectively as Esperantujo ("Esperanto-land").


According to Ethnologue, there are about 101,000 Esperanto speakers, including about 1,000 native speakers.


There is a flourishing Esperanto literature including books, magazines and poetry. Some of the literary works are originally written in Esperanto while others are translated from other languages. There are also Esperanto songs and a number of radio stations broadcast news bulletins in Esperanto.

Esperanto

Esperanto estas la plej disvastigita internacia planlingvo. La nomo venas de la kaŝnomo "Doktoro Esperanto", sub kiu la hebrea kuracisto Ludoviko Lazaro Zamenhofo (1859-1917) en 1887 publikigis la bazon de la lingvo. Nomo de Esperanto estas origine La Internacia Lingvo sed post mallonge nomo estas Esperanto. Li travivis sian junecon en la multilingva urbo Bjelostoko, tiam apartenanta al la Rusa Imperio, hodiaŭ al Polujo, kie li ofte povis pririgardi kverelojn inter la unuopaj tie loĝantaj etnoj, do rusoj, poloj, germanoj kaj hebreoj.


Li kredis ke malkonfido inter rusoj, poloj, germanoj kaj hebreoj en Bjelostoko estas pro aliacoj lingvoj. Pro tio li fari la internacia lingvo-Esperanto, utiligata kiel lingua franka kaj li solvis la malkonfido.


En sia fama "Unua Libro" de Esperanto Zamenhof prezentis la gramatikon per 16 reguloj. Tiu ĉi gramatiko eniris en la sistemdokumenton "Fundamenta Gramatiko", kiu, laŭ decido de la Unua Universala Esperanto Kongreso, garantiu la kontinuecon de la lingvoevoluo.


La vortoj devenas de diversaj lingvoj, sed precipe el la latina. La plejparto venis kaj venas el la ĉefaj eŭropaj lingvoj - precipe el la latina, la hispana, la franca, la germana kaj la angla. Etimaj ekzemploj: lerni, lernejo, lernanto, lernejestro. Aliaj ekzemploj: ejo, estro, ktp.


Ortografio estas iomete simile kun pola. Esperanto novajskribsignoj: Ĉĉ, Ĝĝ, Ĥĥ, Ĵĵ, Ŝŝ, Ŭŭ. Iafoje surogate laŭ la x-sistemo: cx, gx, hx ktp. Iafoje surogate laŭ la apostrofo-sistemo: c', g', h' ktp. Iafoje surogate laŭ la h-sistemo: ch, gh, hh, ktp.


Esperanto estas tre disvastigita lingvo artefarita, populara en Ĉinio kaj en Eŭropo. Estas literaturo en Esperanto-libroj, periodaĵoj kaj poezio. Kelkaj estas originale en Esperanto, kelkaj estas tradukaĵo fro iliaj lingvoj. En Esperanto estas krome kantoj, radioj, informistoj...


Laŭ Ethnologue, estas ĉirkaŭ 101,000 Esperanto-parolantoj, inkluzive de ĉirkaŭ 1,000 denaskaj.
