"Yep, it was an artificial language which 'died'."  Hahaha\n\nMi parolas esperanton! (I speak esperanto) \n\nI speak esperanto better than english :P\n\nI have a lot of friends Esperantists!!  \n\n"Its phonetics is not very simple, it is a sexist language that considers for example, that a woman is just a female version of a man, and its derivational processes are not always very clear."\nThat is very subjective!  \n\nIt is more difficult to find idists than Esperantists!\n\nIn my opinion, what is important is to diffuse the "internal idea" (a neutral international language), and is better if is done from a sufficient strong movement(the esperantist).  Supporting Ido just would weaken a little the esperantist movement, but would not help to diffuse "the internal idea".\n\n"I've heard of it. I had a friend on livejournal.com who was studying it."\n\nSee:\nhttp://www.livejournal.com/interests.bml?int=esperanto\nhttp://community.livejournal.com/esperanto/  \n\n;D

Mi parolas la internacian lingvon!\n\nEsperanto is a language, but not of any country or ethnic group: it is a neutral, international language.\n\n"it has enjoyed continuous usage by a community estimated at between 100,000 and 2 million speakers."\nAccording to Ethnologue.com, there are "200–2000 who speak Esperanto as a first language."\n\n"Esperanto is considerably easier to learn than national languages, since its design is far simpler and more regular. Also, unlike national languages, Esperanto allows communication on an equal footing between people, with neither having the usual cultural advantage favouring a native speaker.\n\nEsperanto's purpose is not to replace any other language, but to supplement them: Esperanto would be used as a neutral language when speaking with someone who doesn't know one's own language. The use of Esperanto would also protect minority languages, which would have a better chance of survival than in a world dominated by a few powerful languages."\n\n"Several research studies demonstrate that studying Esperanto before another foreign language speeds and improves learning the other language."\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaedeutic_value_of_Esperanto\n\nSee more esperanto speakers in Yahoo!

Brilliant idea! Language partner(s) for every city. There are already some pages offering mailing or posting messages to the forums where one can share interests with others but actually I never saw list of language speakers for a city. I am sure it will be helpful for everybody seeking an opportunity to speak to a native speaker of the language the one is interested in.

I've never seen this before, why don't you pose this question under languages, you might get a better response!

Esperanto was designed to not have irregularities, so that it would be easier to learn. As a consequence, the grammar is not very complex.

I practise another artificial language: Ido or Idolinguo and I would use it for private conversation, if I had someone to do so with.\n\nBTW, NOT all languages are artificial. English, Spanish and the like were not constructed in a lab (or on a desk). They evolved NATURALLY from scratch, or from a preceding language (e.g.: Spanish evolved from Latin).\n\nIf you are interested in Ido, check this out:

I don't know why people are responding to this on the iambic pentameter etc front. Are you not asking a question about the multiple negatives? If so, I would respond that people still use this (it isn't unknown for people never to use a purely singular negative form), wasn't he doing it for effect, don't nobody do it no more?

I'm currently playing with their demo disc, and it's quite good.  If you don't have a teacher, the Rosetta Stone software from Transparent Language is the best.  However, it helps to also use the English version so you can tell what exactly the picture is trying to say. I was playing with Mandarin and couldn't tell if the sentence was trying to say the table is under the boy or the boy is on the table!  Rosetta Stone software would also be a good supplement to a language class.

To me, it's a very elegant language.\nListening to it, I can definitely picture very proud people, noble people.\nI really like the sound of it.

You know, it's funny because some other people from the USA, probably not yourself, would claim that immigrants who go to your country should be demanded to communicate in English, and you want people in their native countries to try to communicate with you "half way" between their language and English.\n\nI would rather agree with you. All human beings are genetically, 99.9% the same, and only a 0.1% is different. We shouldn't let artificial barriers come among us. And language is one of the highest barriers of all.\n\nAs for the idea of one language for the whole world, let me tell you there have been several attempts to find one. The most important one was Esperanto, created around 1880. And probably the second most important is Ido, which was born in 1907, as a reformed version of Esperanto. Both of them are still alive, and I am myself an Idist (that means I practise and study Ido). Other international languages are Interlingua, Interlingue (yes, two different languages, there) and Novial. But internal differences, personal prides, and most importantly, the political determination NOT to let one language replace English, have made all of these attempts fail so far.\n\nBTW, if you're interested in Ido, here's a link to begin with. Notice this isn't a commercial activity, so this cannot possibly be considered as spam or publicity. I'm not selling anything, for there's nothing to sell.

Hey scammer girl ;-)\n\nWell done for taking up Yoruba! You should be proud of your linguistic background. I've dug up some resources for you that you could check out!\n\nGood luck! :-)

Like anyother lang-uish (such as spanglish, taglish, etc), it is easy to use for those who are learning the language at the early stages or for those who have difficulty reconciling english and the external language. It gets annoying at times where the two languages do not mix (for me, I have yet to hear od singlish but I have many instances of spanglish and taglish). No, I do not believe it is weird. It is simply something that happens to simply complicated multilingual people.

Well, I too had heard about this study around 3 years ago. It said that Ancient Greek and Sanskrit can be used more efficiently as programming languages for computer. For Sanskrit, the reason is that Sanskrit is a language where the position of a particular word in the sentence does not generally change the meaning of the sentence. Strange but true. Happy to know someone else also know it. Merry Christmas!\n\n--------------------------------------\n\nHi Belle, First of all, I should complement you for asking interesting questions.
