Language devised 1887 by Ludwig L Zamenhof
(1859-1917) as an international auxiliary
language. For its structure and vocabulary it
draws on Latin, the Romance languages,
English, and German. Esperanto spread from
Europe to Japan, Brazil, and, especially,
China. Its structure is completely regular,
with consistent endings for nouns and
adjectives. The spelling is phonetic, but the
accent varies according to the regional
background of its users.
