I don't know any one who speaks it and it is hard to learn a language in a vaccum.\n\nPlease abstain from answering unless you actually know Esperanto.

I'd advise you to learn Ido. It's an improved version of Esperanto. You can start from here:

Is your SAP option on?  It changes the language you hear to Spanish.\n\nWow, people get mean.  The same thing happened to us (we have a two year old boy).  We were watching the Simpsons (only show that was doing it) and thought it was a joke, until it did it the next time.  Aren't they cute?

Faukis soki moyen ezali benga ngai\nAre you sure it is a foreign language?  It might be an African langauage of come kind.  It is not French, German, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese, Cantonese Chinese, Russian, Korean, Welsh, Gaelic, Manx, or English.\nPerhaps someone just can't use predict text (I know I can't).\n\nAnyway good luck!

I raise my eyebrow at the whole idea. Now if I was suddenly filled with the Holly Spirit and was so overjoyed that I couldn't form words in English and spoke something like Latin or Italian.. then yeah.. but jabbering on in a "language so ancient" that no one understands it.. then no.. they are not speaking in tongues.. they just can't express themselves in words.. so they make sounds.

Esperanto is an neutral, logical, international language that is now enjoying a renassaince, thanks in part to the Internet and to the trend toward globalized societies. Its time has finally come.\nNo longer the hobby of a few enthusiasts with a passion for languages, Esperanto has proven to be a valuable tool in many fields, including science and technology.\nAs a professional translator, I use Esperanto as a bridge between unusual language pairs.\nI am also the (paid) coordinator of an Esperanto Kids Club in California. Kids love its logical structure!\nAs you can see, my small time investment to learn it last year is paying handsome dividends. Plus, I have friends around the world who are as welcome in my home as I am in  theirs!\nAmike Via,\nMar Kardenas\nwww.grupoamikema.org

I use mostly Romanian and English in my daily life and work, but I know French very well and I understand Italian and Spanish. I took classes of Swedish (fun language), German (OMG) and Russian (hmmmm) but I never used them for anything and I remember just a few words and rules... I can say basic lines like Hello or Thanks in many more European languages!

some people pick up on languages faster than others.  sounds like you cousin did a good job...but i can show you many other from germany that haven't picked it up all that well.\ni do think its only fair that if one plans to live in a country for any amount of time they should try to learn the language, but i think people are not near as tolerant as they should be about this...its hard, it takes time.  i spent a year in czech republic, and though i learned enough czech to get by, it was far from fluent, and not for lack of trying.\nthen it gets complicated, as people tend to try to live around those that are similar to them, its more comforting, and easier, and frankly given some of the xenophobia displayed lately i can't much blame anyone for not wanting to be the first south american in a neighborhood.  but this clustering makes it less urgent to learn the language and more difficult.\nas for the press 2...its a sure sign that immigrants (illegal) don't just suck the country dry.  business recognize there is money to be made by making their company more accessible to these people, or they wouldn't be putting in bi-lingual services...think large companies just do these things out of the goodness of their corporate heart? no.  its for money.

It is a local language.It is not the l;anguage of most people of the states which say it is theirs because those people have other languages but are afraid of the Hindi bullies and so falsely state their language as Hindi in the Census.Many of them migrated to Fiji, nothern part of S.America,U.K., USA., etc. where they speak it. Hindi is misused by its native users to bully & cheat others to get jobs & privileges and deprive others. It is not a national language but with English was made an Offical Language. Now, its users do not want English and want others to learn Hindi and asked the U.N. to make it a U.N. language out of sheer ego & hate for others. Sanskrit is not the origin of Tamil. It is not easy to learn Hindi or Sanskrit both of which have cranky grammars. The Govt of India & of some states  made it compulsory for all so tht Hindi speakers an get jobs and othes can be jobless in their own states.It is a new language made from Urdu or Hindustaani & other derivaives of Sanskrit & local dialects of the north India. There are much older other languages such as Tamil which is not derived from Sanskrit .

Americans and Englishmen have always found people willing to speak their language because it's useful; this has led to the arrogant assumption that English is spoken by everyone, or will be.  This accords well with the political and economic ambitions of the "neo-conservatives" as well as the old-fashioned English imperialists.\n\nFor better than 90 % of the world's population, English is not a means of communication. Indeed, it may be in decline as a subject of study:\nhttp://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2004/02/0226_040226_language.html\n\nEnglish is a very difficult language to learn unless you've been immersed in it since birth. English spelling is said to be more difficult than any other language except Gaelic. English grammar, although it may be fairly simple, is riddled with exceptions. Verbs are very often irregular. Many people just aren't going to devote several years of effort to learn it!  English has gained its present stature because of the current economic and political power of English-speaking countries. In the past, every super-power has briefly seen its native tongue used internationally: France, Spain, Portugal, the Roman empire. In fact, one of the main reasons why Esperanto was never adopted by the League of Nations was that France blocked efforts to adopt it. At the time, French was "the international language", and France expected it to stay that way forever. They were proven wrong within twenty years.\nAlthough many people all over the world study English and often think they speak it well, the number of people who can participate in a non-trivial conversation in English is very small outside English-speaking countries. Knowing English may be sufficient to survive as a tourist in many places, but not for most. \n\nMe, I speak English; but I'd rather we all learned Esperanto!

Oh, man, that crap drives me up the wall.  I have no idea what the name of the language is, though, i just know that we call the people who use it all the time n00bs.  But that in and of itself is somewhat netspeak-y, so, eh.  What are you gonna do?

I have never heard of that word; I have no idea what it means, when to use it or what tense it's in.  I promise I will never use that word (whatever it means)!!\n-MM

Good answer, Drof. This Asker seems Clueless. Could be the language barrier raising its ugly head again.

Esperanto  (I speak English, Esperanto, Spanish, and German.  I've also studied Polish and Mandarin) Esperanto was far easier to learn than any of the others, and it opened the world to me. I've had conversations with people from every continent, and every country, and I only had to learn the easiest language on earth to do so.\n\nYou might ask, why is Esperanto easier to learn than any of the other languages? It's because it is a language designed to be simple to learn. Most of the time spent studying a foreign language is spent learning the irregularities and rule exceptions ("I before E except after C", " 'sheep' is both singular and plural", etc). Esperanto has only 16 gramatical rules, and no exceptions to any of the rules.\n\nAnd before you ask, yes you can travel with Esperanto. Read this article in Wikipedia about the Esperanto "Pasporta Servo" (Pasport Service)\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasporta_Servo\n\n\nI don't have a least favorie, so far I haven't found a language I didn't want to learn.
