Many people hope that the whole world will
Many people hope that the whole world will one day speak a common language.Over the years,people have made up new languages with this aim.At least six hundred languages have been developed in the search for a language which all human beings would be able to speak.The most famous one,Esperanto (世界语),was the idea of Ludwig Zamenhof,a doctor in Warsaw who published a book about his new language in 1887.
To encourage people to learn the language,he made it as simple as possible.
Esperanto has never been accepted as an official world language,but it has been suggested as an auxiliary (辅助的) language.By 1950 it had been taught to one and a half million speakers,and it was spoken in six hundred schools.Today Esperanto is spoken by about eight million people,and more than one hundred newspapers and magazines in the language are published regularly throughout the world.Thousands of books have been written in Esperanto,including those translated from other languages.
Today the need for a new auxiliary language like Esperanto seems less obvious’ Throughout this century English has grown more and more important it has become a second language for many millions of people.The fact that more are learning English
shows that the use of English is still growing worldwide.No one would deny the usefulness of a world language,but not many people think that Esperanto is likely to play such a role.
