Interesting. This seems counter-intuitive for someone who spoke many languages and apparently delighted in their diversity. I also agree with the comment above

Interesting. This seems counter-intuitive for someone who spoke many languages and apparently delighted in their diversity. I also agree with the comment above yours that wanting humanity to "be one" and to be able to communicate universally, is not mutually exclusive with them maintaining their separate languages concurrently. Do you have any suggested sources for me to read about Zamenhof's later views?
- Mediterraneo10 7y agoMy understanding of Zamenhof’s views is based on reading his complete works in the edition prepared by that Japanese Esperantist, which I could do as I was closely involved with an Esperanto library. As this was some years ago and I am no longer involved in Esperanto, I am sorry that I cannot cite a specific passage, but I am quite sure that my claim is correct, and I would urge you to go to those sources.
