Esperanto was a language created to facilitate communication among the people of the world. It never caught on. Has Gibberish replaced it?

  • People don't want their culture removed and the other problem is there are too many competing universal languages competing. Even the promoters of Esperanto couldn't come to consensus so created Esperanto derivatives like Ido.  Then there is more concise ones like Interlingua  that better suites scientific exchange.

    Interlingua? I have not heard of that Glis. Thanks for the info. I'll Google it! :) That would make it possible for quantum physicists worldwide to communicate with one another, right?

    Trouble! One lousy piece of pizza divided by 5 crows? Not gonna work out for anyone. Besides the cat pounced on all five crows and ate them on the spot and saved the pizza for later! Bye Bye blackbirds! Thank you for your reply whistle! :)

    I think Gibberish has, Rosie, I think it has.... :-(

    That and laziness and lack of pride in one's own language.
