@Hector @fluffy I skimmed over the article, but it seems it's only argument for Esperanto being also close to Chinese is it's regularity. The language is build to be easy to learn, it doesn't need to look at a specific language to decide irregular verbs are bad. Also the part where Esperanto decline words... Well Latin and Germanic languages can do that too, so relating that to Chinese seems useless.

I'm unconvinced.
