Esperanto is what is called a plann

Esperanto is what is called a planned, or artificial, languege. It was created more than a century ago by Polish eye doctor Ludwick Lazaz Zamenhof. Zamenhof believed that a common language wuold help to alleviate some of the misunderstandings among cultures.
In Zamenhof' s first attempt at a universal language, he tried to create a language that was as uncomplicated as possible. This first language included words such as ab, ac, ba, be, and ce. This did not result in a workble language in that these monosyllabic words, though short , were not easy to understand or to retain.
Next, Zamenhof tried a different way of constructing a simplified language. He made the words in his language sound like words that people already knew, but he simplified the grammar tremendously. One example of how he simplified the language can be seen in the suffixes: all nouns in this language end in O, as in the noun "amiko" , which mean "friend", and all adj and in- a, as in the adj bela, which means pretty. Another example of the simplified language can be seen in the prefix mal-, which makes a word opposite in meaning; the word malamiko therefore means enemy and the word malbela therefore means " ugly" in Zamenhof' s laguage.
In 1887, Zamenhof wrote a description of this language and published it. He used a pen name, Dr Esperanto, when sighning the book. He selected the name Esperanto because this words means " a person who hopes" in his language . Esperanto clubs began popping up throung out Eurpe, and by 1905, Esperanto had spead from Europe to America and Asia.
In 1905, the First World Congress of Esperanto took place in France, with approximatle 700 attendees from 20 different countries. Congress were held annually for nine years, and 4,000 attendees were registered for the Tenth World Esperanto Congress scheduled for 1914, when World War I erupted and forced its cancellation.
Esperanto has had its ups to downs in the period since World War 1. Today, years affter it was introduced, it is estimated that perhaps a quarter of a millon people are fluent in it. This may seem like a large number, but it is reallu quite small when compared with the billion English speakers and billion Mandarin Chinese speakers in today' s world. Current advocates would like to see its use grow considerably and are taking srteps to try to make this happen.
