The real problem with Esperanto is that there is no speech community and culture associated with it, and thus the language can't evolve in any real way. Most Esperanto is written, for instance. And you can't learn it from a native speaker. Not all that much different from Sanskrit or Latin, except they have real literature and history and culture. | |

You can read Homer in english, or Shakespeare in spanish, and still enjoy a great piece of literature. But Shakespeare in Esperanto is just sheer butchering, although I can appreciate it as a very interesting and fun effort. | |
