The Move towards a Universal Language
1) A Universal language for Earth would be a language spoken and
understood by all human race on the earth. To what extent do you think such a Language is possible or realistic? When do you think such a language might come to existence?
2) Esperanto is currently the most widely spoken Conlang on the planet
with more than 2 million speakers. Do you think it can ever reach the levels of English, Chinese or Hindi with 1.3 Billion, 1.1 Billion and 690 Million speakers respectively?
3) If Esperanto were to become the Lingua Franca of Earth. How much of
the world we live in do you think would change especially the Internet considering it is mainly dominated by English?
4) The Phonology of Esperanto to a large extent is similar to European
Languages considering its roots from Russian, Polish, German, English, Italian, French, Spanish and other Slavic languages. How much of the population in Asian, Middle Eastern and African countries do you think would accept a language not even remotely related to their own language?
5) If Esperanto were to become the most spoken Language on the planet it
would dethrone English from the position. Is it not possible for the English-speaking countries to cause hindrance to the idea of Esperanto as the Lingua Franca?
6) Esperanto is maybe the closest we have come to a universal language
uniting the world. It surely has a lot of potential in the foreseeable future. So, would you consider learning Esperanto and leading the movement to a Lingua Franca?
