HS Essay about Esperanto (4659 words)
Esperanto is far from being the solution to the world's problems, but it has the potential to become the solution to the age-old quest for a working international language.
Esperanto was first introduced in 1887 when Zamenhof published, with the support of his wife, a forty page booklet entitled Fundamento de Esperanto which included grammar, vocabulary, and translations of three poems, a letter, and selections from the Bible.
There are four main reasons that Esperanto would be a better choice for this middle-man language than a national language: native speakers would be translating from their own languages, as opposed to from a foreign language; it is rich in rhymes; it has great flexibility and can hold the style of the original work (Auld).
