Asean Community should use Esperanto for the best result

Dear friends in ASEAN Community,



Do you know that Indonesia government  is pushing to use Indonesia language for the ASEAN Community ?If they can successful do so, your country will be burden with more expenses and people will suffer more but Indonesia will gain more in terms of economy with her exports of films, songs, books etc

Asean Community should use Esperanto but not anyone language from the Asean member countries. There are a few reasons for it. Of course, the politicians in all ASEAN Community are unwilling to learn a new language, Esperanto, but we have to push for it as you pay for the translation in the Asean Community.

The pursuit of using the national language from Asean was long started since 80s. There was the Thais and later the Indonesians. We should be living in the internet age. We should know that having many languages in the international organisation cost a lot for the translation. Asean Community is not a rich region like EU, they can afford to pay high amount of translation cost for the events.

UNESCO and UNWTO long recommended the use of Esperanto as the international language. The two resolutions, 1954 and 1985 in UNESCO got less countries and NGOs to respect them. The 1980 Manila Declaration of UNWTO also got less support from the ministries of tourism and also the tourism industries in the world, thus the lost of the life of a young girl from Netherlands in Spain should not have occured if the tourism industries and the ministries of tourism in all countries respect the UNWTO Declaration and adopt Esperanto.  Many reports are available, it is hardly reported in Asean countries, perhaps, you can search in your national language.

Many people blamed the Spanish worker for his bad English. Why should the Spanish use English for the Netherlands tourist? Should it not using the Dutch? Well, as one knows, that it is impossible to speak so many languages as tourists come many countries in the world  and the UNWTO had it done almost 40 years to call for the use of Esperanto.

It is not based on the number of people in a country for the use of the language in the Asean Community. It is not majority wins. Less Whites were in South Africa, but the Whites controlled South Africa for decades if not centuries.

It is the equality counts. Even using English in Asean Community is still unfair.

Besides, using Esperanto as the communal language in Asean Community will save millions of dollars for each country. The second language of each Asean country should change to Esperanto but not English.

Learning Esperanto needs 200 hours, that means about 6 months. If you have to learn Bahasa Indonesia, it might take you another 9 years. Do you want to learn a language in  6 months or in 9 years or more.

We people in Asean Community have the right to voice it and change it. It depends on how you see the issue in economy and equality.

Twitter or share to Facebook if you think Asean Community should be using Esperanto but not Indonesia language.
