@Concerned_Catgirl Perhaps the same could be said of all Indo-European languages.

@Concerned_Catgirl Point :p.

@Concerned_Catgirl I find it bizarre that despite this the Chinese gov't is crazy about Esperanto

@Concerned_Catgirl Honestly, I like the idea of Esperanto, but the implementation is lacking. Zamenhof was making a language based on principles he knew; he was a dentist, not a linguist. I think his vision is why it has the prominence it does amongst conlangs (that and it was the first big one).
