Sorry, but you're guessing without having any data or knowledge of Esperanto. At the World Kongresso hundreds of people from around the world meet and only speak Esperanto all week. They have zero trouble communicating. There are several Esperanto video channels where people meet others who don't speak their tongue and they can communicate fluently. There are even some native Esperanto speakers believe it or not.
- thaumasiotes 8y agoYou say this as if you think it contradicts what I said. Hundreds of people who meet for a week once a year are not a language community. While it was alive, Manx would have exceeded that amount of yearly communication, and it was spoken only on the Isle of Man. Unknown Sentinelese languages have more of a community than Esperanto does, right now. > They have zero trouble communicating. Note that I said that it's easier to understand a language which the speaker isn't comfortable in.
- dbrgn 8y agoYes, but how many of those would go to a yearly "Manx language congress"?
