Esperanto  

Definition

  • Esperanto is the most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language. Its name derives from Doktoro Esperanto (‘Esperanto’ translates as ‘one who hopes’), the pseudonym under which Ludwig Zamenhof published the first book detailing Esperanto, in 1887.This artificial language is Indo-European based, both in its lexicon and in the grammatical categories with which it operates.
