Remember
Esperanto?
Okay, maybe I’m being a little unfair. Many
readers, I suspect, have never heard of Esperanto — the artificially
constructed language that some nineteenth and twentieth century utopians sought
to turn into a universal language — so how can I expect them to remember it?
The truth is that I barely remember it. Only once do I recall coming into contact
with this artificial language. I have never heard anyone speak it, and to the
best of my recollection I only saw it written once. During a visit to Amsterdam
in 1978, I noted that the instructions for the use of public telephones
(remember those?) were written in five or six different languages, Esperanto
being one of them.
That one brief exposure lay buried somewhere in
the recesses of my subconscious memory until roused by a recent book review in
the Forward. I haven’t read the book in question, a biography of Ludwik
Zamenhof, the inventor of Esperanto, and I’m not likely to read it. I already
have a long list of books of higher priority that I’m trying to find the time
to read — but the book review got me thinking about the role that language plays
in identity….

Ĉar hodiaŭ oni opinias ke la NWO havas alian "dion" kaj sekretan celon pri la tuta homaro...
