Created by: L. L. Zamenhof
Date: 1887
Setting and usage International: most parts of the world
Users: Native: estimated 1,000 to several thousand (2016)
L2 users: estimates range from 63,000 to two million
Purpose: constructed language
is the most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language. It was created by Polish ophthalmologist L. L. Zamenhof in 1887. Zamenhof first described the language in The International Language, which he published in five languages under the pseudonym "Doktoro Esperanto". (This book is often nicknamed in Esperanto as la Unua Libro i.e. The First Book.) The word esperanto translates into English as "one who hopes".
Zamenhof's goal was to create an easy and flexible language that would serve as a universal second language to foster world peace and international understanding, and to build a "community of speakers", as he believed that one could not have a language without such a community.[citation needed]
His original title for the language was simply "the international language" (la lingvo internacia), but early speakers grew fond of the name Esperanto and began to use it as the name for the language just two years after its creation. The name quickly gained prominence and has been used as an official name ever since.
In 1905, Zamenhof published Fundamento de Esperanto ("Foundation[Note 1] of Esperanto") as a definitive guide to the language. Later that year, French Esperantists organized with his participation the first World Esperanto Congress, an ongoing annual conference, in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France. The first congress ratified the Declaration of Boulogne, which established several foundational premises for the Esperanto movement; one of its pronouncements is that Fundamento de Esperanto is the only obligatory authority over the language; another is that the Esperanto movement is exclusively a linguistic movement and that no further meaning can ever be ascribed to it. Zamenhof also proposed to the first congress that an independent body of linguistic scholars should steward the future evolution of Esperanto, foreshadowing the founding of the Akademio de Esperanto (in part modeled after the Académie française), which was established soon thereafter. Since 1905, the congress has been held in a different country every year, with the exceptions of the years during the World Wars. In 1908, a group of young Esperanto speakers led by the Swiss Hector Hodler established the Universal Esperanto Association in order to provide a central organization for the global Esperanto community.
Esperanto grew throughout the 20th century, both as a language and as a linguistic community. Despite speakers facing persecution in regimes such as Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union under Stalin, Esperanto speakers continued to establish organizations and publish periodicals tailored to specific regions and interests. In 1954, the United Nations granted official support to Esperanto as an international auxiliary language in the Montevideo Resolution. Several writers have contributed to the growing body of Esperanto literature, including William Auld, who received the first nomination for the Nobel Prize in Literature for a literary work in Esperanto in 1999, followed by two more in 2004 and 2006. Those writing in Esperanto are also officially represented in PEN International, the worldwide writers association, through Esperanto PEN Centro.

I’m a native Spanish speaker, and to me Esperanto sounds like the combination of Spanish and Greek
Because the persone who’s speaking is native Spanish speaker
it's actually a combination of LOTS of languages, that was one of the creator's aims;for people to understand it, at least fundamentally, no matter their native language

Bruh everyone here is like "Esperanto sounds like a whole bunch of European languages mixed together." That's literally what it is!
Jes ;-)
@@amadeosendiulo2137 ĉu vi parolas esperanto?? Ĉar mi parolas esperanto ;)
I can tell this speaker is native Spanish, sounds cool
Esperanto is awesome like that, I personally attempt to emulate a Latin American Spanish accent when speaking to get a more colloquial feel.
Yes, she is.
Interesa, FRANÇOIS. Mi ne aŭdis Hispanan voĉon, sed Meza Amerikanan. Mi estas de sudokcidenta Usono, (kaj mia familio estas originale el Hispanio,) do eble ni aŭdis laŭ nia propra historio kaj vidpunkto ĉu? Ĝis.

Ne. Ŝi estas denaska esperantisto. Ŝi havas fortan esperantan akĉenton.
Mi jam scias paroli esperanton. Dankon pro afiŝi ĉi tiun videon por instrui aliajn homojn ĉi tiun belan lingvon.💛✌️
I am Polish fluent in english, french, german, swedish and latin. It's amazing how much I can understand without any knowledge of esperanto. Maybe it's time to start studying?
Just started learning Esperanto about a week ago, and I can't believe how much sense this makes alredy
Eu também.
Started learning a month ago. Amazing how much I already understand!!!
Everyone is saying how it sounds like Italian, Spanish, Polish, Latin, etc
I think it sounds like Esperanto
As Filipino, since our austronesian language has been somehow diluted with Spanish vocabulary over the centuries, some words are easily recognizable. Apparently, there are Esperanto speakers somewhere in the Philippine demograph.
Everyone : Sounds Like Spanish
Me spanish speaker: sounds like latin-polish xD
To me it sounds like italian
Agree
Very clear, neutral and natural.
I can't unhear that Polish now 😆
@@Instruisto31 Jes :)
One of the most beautiful creation of Human, "Esperanto: a conlang"
The Esperanto voice is SOOOO satisfying to listen to! 😊😊😊😊
I love Esperanto! I learn it since November 2020.
As a Romanian, I can easily understand some phrases. It sounds like Spanish and Greek.
It is a mix of many European languages, that's what makes the language easy to learn as many words will likely be similar or the same as your language
Learning esperanto using children's stories is a great way to go. Simpler sentences and limited vocabulary mean you aren't running to the dictionary every second word as happens when try with something like an esperanto newspaper (which tend to have a lot of infrequently used words). I understood 95% of that and I've only been learning on and off for a while. What I love about this language is that once you learnt a root you automatically know or can guess the meanings of all other words with that root. For example I'd never seen the word for magic before, but once I did I could automatically could translate the words for wizard and witch. I like that it drip feeds you new words rather than floods you with them like when you read a text intended for adults. I guess that isn't too surprising, after all you start kids on Spot goes to the Park rather than War and Peace.
This is like Portuguese, French, Italian, Greek and Spanish got put into a pot, and this stew is the result
"fajro" would rather come from English or German.
Esperanto is a human-created language
Belega akcento!! Gratulon al kreantoj. Beautiful Esperanto pronunciation. So nice and soft. I love it.
Bona komento ⬆
The language sounds so beautiful 🤧
Wonderful language of Esperanto
_From Albay, Bicolandia, Philippines
One of languages Esperanto was based is french. French is a new latin language like portuguese, italian, romanian, spanish... So me as a native portuguese speaker can understand some phrases, with difficulty but I can.
I love this language, seems so cool to learn it
It is.
One unique Language! Great Video
I’d love to hear this spoken by someone without a Spanish accent as it sounds just like Spanish-ish but looks like Romanian, Lith/Latvian.
It's not Romanian. I speak it at home and I don't think it sounds verry simmilar. Maybe in vocabulary. I think a latin or an italian accent is best fitting.
It's a clear accent. Esperanto is as clear as Spanish, Italian, Euskera, or Greek.
it sounds nothing like a spanish accent what lol
lool I'm latvian and this isn't even close to latvian :D
@@Instruisto31 Have u ever tried latvian language?
Am i the only one who noticed that the “coat ot arms” used for esperanto is actually the emblem of crvena zvezda (red star belgrade) just with green replacing red ?
I'm back to studying languages after a huge hiatus and hope I can become fluent in Esperanto one day :)
Dankegon ^^ I speak Esperanto, so thank you so much for this ^^
@Rohan Dahiya Pluta Mi parolas Esperanton en la interneto kun miaj amikoj.
To many non-Spanish speakers like myself Esperanto will always sound like Spanish
I'm a Spanish speaker (bilingual) and it sounds Spanish.
I hate it when people assume that it's spanish :(
Sounds like Vulgar Latin to me.
It sounds like spanish because the speaker in the video is obviously a spanish native.
@@eduardoo31 My comment wasn't specific to Esperanto as spoken in this video. It's my overall impression of Esperanto.
What a cool language! Some just made it and now it’s spoken by over 6 million people
Jen nia belega lingvo!❤
Since I can speak Italian I can understand like 85% of what is being said
Lovely language. I wish its goal will be achieved someday. Late viewer of this video here. 🖐
Perfekta prononcado. Kaj jes, la sono de Esperanto tre, tre similas al la hispana lingvo parolata en centra kaj norda Hispanio. Kial? Precipe pro la klareco de la kvin vokaloj: a, e, i, o, u.
Mi parolas esperanto tre malbone, mi lernis malmulta vortoj😭 mi estas maldiligenta.
Sounds like Spanish-Polish mix, pretty much like Romanian
@Rohan Dahiya Pluta That's verdo xD
Mi scias 'cuz mi estas native Polish who learns Spanish and I don't understand all esperanto because of that xD
@Rohan Dahiya Pluta That's not true!
I know some words feom Polish:
pilko (ball) is from piłka (ball)
ci (thou) is from ty (thou)
ĉu is from czy (interrogative particle: introduces a yes-no question)
Vi (you)
@Rohan Dahiya Pluta Spanish? I know only
Amiko
@Rohan Dahiya Pluta And the Esperanto is more than vocaulary, more than words. It's aslo grammar etc.
ĉu is used the same way as Polish czy.
Adjectives have gramatical numbers of their nouns as is Spanish:
GrandaJ bovinoJ - VacaS grandeS
It's not like Romanian. I am Romanian and it doesn't sound like it.
I'm learning Esperanto with Duolingo!
Saluton Esperanto-parolantoj amikoj!
Saluton, Co Fo To Vovo Co Fo To Lo :-D
Saluton, mia amiko.
Mi amas ĝin. Dankon, ke vi metis Esperanton en vian kanalon. ☺
Mi lernas Esperanto ekde marto de 2020
Great video. Definitely subscribing to the channel!
Be mindful though that Esperanto specifies possessives so that “her mother- ŝia patrino” is pronounced like the English “sh” and means a different girl’s mother, but “her mother- sia patrino” which is pronounced with the “ss” sound and means “her own mother”
Tre bona video! mi tre shatis ghin!

I'm a pure Filipino and my 2nd language is Spanish. I understood some words and it sounds pretty latin and russian.
Sad that this language is starting to die out. There are very few speakers now. Hearing it here there's something rather familiar about it. Its like some weird mix of other European languages, like Spanish, Polish and such. Many Esperantos were persecuted and as a result many of them were dispersed and spread around the World. In the 1960s some early Esperanto films were made in North America. Without a homeland this language and culture will die out
It's actually getting a second wind from all the duolingo users and the internet. While it is unlikely (though possible) to run into an esperantist in a foreign country on internet you can easily find others. There is a whole community out there. I'm currently reading a book called Ponto el Vortoj or Bridge of Words by Esther Schor about the international Esperanto community published in 2016.
Im a spanish speaker and this sounds germslavtin (germanic, slavic and latin). Universal language
Kinda like Proto-Indo-European?
Zamenhof was a genius.👍
Saluton, mi lernas Esperanton en Duolingo, ĝi estas tre amuza kaj facila ĉi tiu estas la plej facila lingvo en nia planedo, se vi povas legi ĉi tion, vi regas kiel mi.
Esperanto is one of the most simplest language in the world. (Nas Daily)
*toki pona
Devono knabo no
@Absolute Zero that's the beauty of it though
@kepala kentang the criticism of Eurocentrism is a valid one, but I think is sometimes exaggerated.
While the vocabulary of Esperanto is indeed drawn largely from European sources and it features a rudimentary case system, some linguists consider Esperanto to be agglutinative (not a trait normally associated with European languages) due to its system of affixes.
@@jandoubrava3991 just because it's hard doesn't mean it's not simple it's so simple in fact it's hard
Tre bona leciono. Dankon karaj gesamideanoj. Agrabla estas esperantajn sonora. Sukceson
Esperanto sounds like Spanish mixed up with German, French, Italian, Polish and Russian.
You're right.
I have a feeling that this is between Latin and Old Slavonic.
Esperanto or another invented better should be established as the only official language in all international forums. It's enough that native English speakers are born with privileges over others!!!
Mi amas la manieron kiel li legas.
Simile al l'Hispana.
@Ángel Villar also to me, a Dutchman, it sounds quite like Spanish. also the word "esperanto" seems extremely Spanish-like, probablamente even to you, ¿ no ?
Esperanto has a Papiamento vibe to it fusing various languages together
Kia bela lingvo
Bonan sound like french bon means good..
Any one who learning Esperanto just like me🙂?
Mi lernas Esperanton. Cu vi volas lerni gin? Iru al Duolingo por lerni la lingvon.

Esperanto estas tre bela lingvo. Mi estas feliĉa, ke mi parolas Esperanton
This is absolutely a romance language
To me, this sounds a lot like Romanian. Someone should translate Dragostea Din Tei to Esperanto.
Hello, I speak Esperanto, are they any more of us here??
Ja estas pli da Eo-istoj ĉi tie, samideano. Saluton!
Humans: we must create a language to unite all the world under the same flag, progress will rise with Esperanto Lingo!
United States and Britain: (exist)
Humans: well yes
Me honestly, I imagine the inhabitants of safe haven from Vivziepop’s zoophobia all speaking Esperanto and it being the official language of safe haven.
Esperanto is the most easiest language to learn on the planet! 🎓
Tre bone!
cool esperanto language sound so beautiful and interesting thanks for uploading and can you upload another constructed language video please of other esperanto derived language name Ido and other constructed language that is romance derived language name talossan :)
Everybody says Esperanto sounds like Spanish but I, a native Spanish speaker can’t comprehend barely anything of what she’s saying 😂
It sounds like Greek or Latin to me
So this how spanish sounds for non native speakers
Well the reader is actually a Spanish woman, she pronounces Esperanto using Spanish phonemes, if one listens to a Russian speaking Esperanto, then the flavour is different.
Try this: podcasts.google.com/?feed=aHR0cDovL3JhZGlvLmVzcGVyYW50by1vbmRvLnJ1L2ZlZWQvcG9kY2FzdC9yYWRpby1lc3BlcmFudG8&ep=14&episode=aHR0cDovL3JhZGlvLmVzcGVyYW50by1vbmRvLnJ1Lz9wb3N0X3R5cGU9cG9kY2FzdCZwPTM4Ng
"his sounds like a combination of different languages" it's called esperanto for a reason
Esperanto estas la estonteco
Oni povas esperi.
Fantastic Channel, congratulations! 👏👏👏
Ja mi jam scias Esperanton, sed kial mi ŝategas re-spekti ĉi tiun videon?
Definitely on my bucket list, beautiful language!
Not many russian or another slavic words. I've seen only "...vi pravis", in russian "вы правы"(vy pravy), in english - "you're right".
mi finfine lernis ĝin
Gratulon! Bonvenon al Esperantujo.
Funny how 'Dunia' means world in Bahasa
it seems better that the esperanto use instead of 😥
lol
Esperanto sonas al mi kiel antikva lingvo, kiel la mortintaj lingvoj, aŭ la latina, des pli kiam oni parolas ĝin pli rapide. Ŝajnas ke ne estas multaj homoj kiuj pensas same.
Dunia mean world/earth in many languages
Okay! Can I use this in a video? Everyone thinks it sounds like or better in a Romanian accent, so I want to prove it doesn't. I'll add the link when it's done, that is if you let me.
I'll wait
Great language! I wish one day it will replace English.
Esperanto is rapidly growing, while English growth is slowing down
Very unlikely. Spanish and Mandarin Chinese are more likely to replace English in the future.
@@DoctorDeath147 and French
@@nero7469 That's an opinion, and you clearly don't like Esperanto because it's actually growing every year
@@TheRomeVEVO I don't know about Esperanto's growing but I don't think English is slowing down, anytime soon. I think for non-native English speakers Spanish would be the 2nd most "useful" language to learn after English. I'm learning French 'cause I love this language but I also want to learn Spanish 'cause of its usefulness; it's the 3rd most common language on the internet. It has about half a billion native speakers; all the Latin American countries excluding Brazil have Spanish as an official or co-official language. So everyone who's thinking "what's the 2nd most useful language to learn after English ?" the answer is - Spanish.
Despite Esperanto being created by a Polish person, Zamenhof it doesn't sound like Polish at all.
To me as a Polish person it sounds like Spanish & Italian had a baby.
I can see why Esperanto never caught on, it may have been easy to learn for romance or Slavic speakers but that's pretty much it.
What is the best way go start learning it?
the strange language that i know in Duolingo
I wish you will do this with toki pona
For Koreans, the language only seems to be a mixture of Latin and Slavic languages.
Exactly.
I hope you find it easy to learn...
Esperanto like Spanish in pronunciation
Its like mixing latin with polish and romanian
It really sounds like Spanish!
What happened to Toki Pona?
Any chance of having an Interlingua video?
It sounds like romance language, especially spanish and romanian.
I like how he invented "natives" who speak this.
I'd love to see you do Toki Pona next :)
Please mind my ignorance....but whats the purpose for this language?. . Ive never heard of it, and sounds nothing like Spanish..
Esperanto is a language of international communication.
It was created in the 1880s.
Latin-Polish is what it sounds like
who is the model based?
I don't understand crap, but It sounds like spanish o-o, it may be because the one speaking it also speaks spanish though
Sounds like euskera
Danny Phantom brought me here...
Esperanto in Danny Phantom was pure gibberish, expect saluton
