Hi.
When I counted how many languages there are in the world in my previous diary, "Esperanto" just came to my head.
Now that English has become an internationally common language at the era of Internet, I think Esperanto have been dead and buried.
Does anybody know about Esperanto now?
To say the least of it, no one in this Lang-8 members would use it, because there are no native-Esperanto-speaking people in this world and no sentences written in Esperanto can be corrected by natives.
こんばんは。
前回の日記の中で、世界中に言語が何種類あるか数えていたとき、たまたま「エスペラント語」が頭に浮かびました。
インターネット時代を迎え、今や英語が国際共通語になってしまってるので、エスペラント語は闇に葬り去られたんじゃないかって・・・ちょっと同情してしまいます。
誰か、エスペラント語って今どうなってるかご存知ないですか？
少なくとも、このＬａｎｇ－８のメンバーは誰もエスペラント語を使わないんじゃないかな。なぜなら、エスペラント語を話すネイティブはこの世にはいないわけだから、エスペラント語を話すネイティブから添削してもらうことってできないもの。

私はエスペラントを知っていますが、おかしいと思います。もうだれも使わないはずだけど、今でもエスペラントを取り立てる人がいます：http://www.esperanto-usa.org/
Thank you for the information. I'll check it up.

Really?
Do you mean George Soros can speak as if he were a native-Esperanto speaker?
I don't think his native language is Esperanto.
I don't think his parents and friends predominantly speak Esperanto.
Though I don't know about him at all.
I'll check him up on the web.
Thanks.
There are children (now young adults) whose parents met through Esperanto events...and yes, their native language is Esperanto.
Soros was born in Budapest, Kingdom of Hungary, the son of the Esperantist writer Tivadar Soros and Elizabeth Soros. Tivadar (also known as Teodoro) was a Hungarian Jew, who was a prisoner of war during and after World War I and eventually escaped from Russia to rejoin his family in Budapest.[10][11] Tivadar taught George to speak Esperanto from birth.[12
Yet, the child have to use the second language from the beginning, because he/she has to participate in social activities.
For example, going to school, meeting his/her friends, going to hospital, buying groceries, having his/her hair cut......
So I think there are no native-Esperanto speaking people who can only understand Esperanto in this real world. Correct?
I'm not fan of Esperanto yet, but the Esperanto movement is growing.

Some students in university have Esperanto conversation groups, but it's treated like an extracurricular activity.
Sorry! I'm late to reply.
