In respond to : The Universal Language- Why Did It Fail

The YouTube has many short films about Esperanto, of course, pros and cons of them.

Each and everyone has the right to voice their opinions. It depends on how much one can really convince the people to support your view or opinion. No doubts, there are people who dislike Esperanto or perhaps, they want Esperanto to vanish from the earth.

However, this is the Internet era, more and more languages are rebirth via the modern technology but I shall not dwell on it how these languages will survive through the competitive age.

I would like to inform the audience of this talk about the Esperanto and related issues.

There are points which I am totally agreed with like the practicality of the language in these days. That is the reason I have launched a campaign to boycott the Universal Congress of Esperanto. This is the first English article that I talked about the boycott.

Esperanto was in the past which had been used in almost all fields, that meant, its practical purpose was in full swing, thus, UNESCO recommended it in 1954. but later, it was reduced due to the world war and the strong economy as well as colonisation power that drove Esperanto to a corner.

That is the reason I am calling to boycott the universal congress of Esperanto and return to the practical use of Esperanto in science, commerce and politics. The younger generation has not much clues what a language should be used for and nowadays, the Esperanto circle is dominated by the language lovers more instead of all professions. That is the reason which makes Esperanto become impractical in the daily used.

On the other hand, I would like to inform the audience as I do not like to comment on the YouTube page about few items that they have to aware of when one touches on the issues of native speakers of Esperanto, natural language etc..

Esperanto does not require native speakers

Esperanto is a second language of human race, it does not require to have native speakers. A person speaks his/her native language and speak a neutral second language does not down grade his/her status in life. Why Esperanto is neutral because it is not a language of certain tribal, if Esperanto has native speakers, of course, it does, it would become a tribal language and its neutrality is gone.

Artificial or planned language

All languages in the world are made. There is no such language as natural. If one agrees to the evolution theory, human being was evolved from other animal, that is suffice to say that all languages are made. Where did the A B C symbols come from ? Millions of years ago, did human being had the writing ability?

The Chinese language, words, were evolved from pictures and later simplified it to the strokes in writing. Of course, certain words are created thereafter as there were no so many pictures to represent especially the chemical words which are impossible to see, especially, the gases.

In short, if anyone still harp on the natural and man-made language, I hope they can be more knowledge wise from now on.

On the whole, I am glad that, at least someone has opened up the discussion even though his intention may be unknown of , however, I am pleased to discuss with him in a different media here.

At the same time, I wish the Esperanto speakers, especially the organisations in the world could seriously look into the criticism and improve the weakness.
