Esperanto anyone?
However, I do have some respect for Ido, the “reformed” version of Esperanto, because somebody obviously saw that it needed to be fixed….
The only thing about Esperanto that I agree with is its purpose….I believe that an International Auxiliary Language (IAL) is ideal for global communication. Many people say: “Just learn English”. Well, although English is the most used language in the world, it is probably also one of the hardest…trust me, I’m a native speaker, and if I have trouble sometimes with English, then many non-native speakers must have a even more trouble. As far as the ever-growing need for global communication, I don’t believe that Esperanto has solved it, or ever will.
You see, when L.L. Zamenhof created Esperanto, 60% of the vocabulary was from the Romance languages, 30% from the Germanic languages (including English), and 10% from other languages (including Greek). The phonology came from the Slavic languages, which probably wasn’t the best choice, as many other language groups may have some trouble with that. The grammar was mostly constructed to be “super-easy”, so it may have not had exact roots. I can understand the need for easy grammar, but Zamenhof was open-minded enough when he created Esperanto.
The language that I am creating called "UNIFIKATO" (which means “to unify&rdquo😉 comes from a much wider range of language groups, not just the Romance, Germanic, and Slavic languages including the Celtic group, the Baltic group, and many other groups including Mandarin Chinese and Japanese, because these languages are important, too, in my opinion. Also, the language needs more foundations from Latin and Greek, as these languages were the foundations of many other languages. Unifikato is still in Beta version, but I have shared the foundations of it with many people, and it seems really popular, and it will more than likely achieve the “neutrality” that many Esperantists wanted their language to become, though it never did.
If you have any questions about Unifikato, feel free to email me at "themattfactor@verizon.net." Yes, my email address needs to be changed, but I've had it forever and I'm too lazy to change it...
Keep it real,
