It was one of their projects to bring about world peace: Learn Esperanto. (These days, while there are societies for the learning of it, etc., Esperanto doesn't have the wide-spread credibility it had in, say, the 1960s. As Ky the Linguist points out, even the name of it shows how it's a little too Latin to be from an international and neutral language.)<br /><br />This has been your friendly neighbourhood nerd, answering to support her (also nerdy) fiance's answer.Queen of West Procrastinationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17216968234999269409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10179443.post-1106227475306630792005-01-20T07:24:00.000-06:002005-01-20T07:24:00.000-06:00Ahh good old Esperanto.

I believe the idea was to come up with a common tongue that is neutral to everyone and would not carry national baggage with it. (Kind of a lets all be friends and live in peace kind of thing) There was also a language that was invented that was based soley on singing notes. It was appently very beautiful and easy to learn but it also was doomed by the vast number of tone deaf people including myself. Well. I have to get back to work but it was great chatting.
