### I really would like to know how many people have already heard about ESPERANTO. Maybe a lot, however most will think of a failed language project some hundert years ago. But it is still alive, and if steemit is a mirror of real life than Esperanto got its place here, even with only one representative of it.

​

In human history quite a few attempts were made to create an artificial language, logical and clear, that could be used by everyone and would be easy to learn. Esperanto created about 130 years ago is the only one that made it to a real widely spoken natural language.

**And here is why:**

Esperanto has a quite simple grammar (16 rules), and it is also completely regular with no exceptions. There are no irregular past tenses, no irregular plurals, no irregularly used prepositions…  Additionally, the pronunciation is easy, and it is a complete phonetic language.

**Nouns end in -o**

**Adjectives -a**

**Verbs are not conjugated and end in -as in the present tense, -os in future and -is in past tense**

**Plurals -oj**

Even most of the vocabulary comes from European languages the grammatical structure is rather non-European. Through a genial system of  prefixes and suffixes added on to virtually any word you get a great variety of new words.

Lets take the word _bela._ Probably you already know, it is beautiful. Than we add to the word root the suffix -igi, means “to make, to cause to be”, so _beligi _means “make (something) beautiful”. If we furthermore use the prefix pli- means more, so _plibeligi _than means “to make it more beautiful”.

Instead of learning thousands of dissimilar words, you essentially need only a few hundred roots and use a few dozen affixes to become a fluent speaker.

Of course Esperanto is not perfect as no human being is. It still evolves as a language and it needs a lot of effort to acquire it,  however it seems the most easiest language to learn on earth. 

**On the popular language learning platform DUOLINGO are already more than a Million English- speaking people enrolled for a free  Esperanto course. No reason to think you are out of date with it.**

This is an older article of mine, however still worth to read,  specially for language freaks. Here on Steemit  you will find a lot of original Esperanto articles.
