Esperanto as "hippie Klingon" is a very neat turn of phrase, even rolls off the tongue perfectly...
- gxonatano 3y agoThe comparison to Klingon is really short-sighted, though. Even though Klingon and Esperanto are both constructed languages, Klingon is a fictional language, created to mimic a natural language. Esperanto, on the other hand, is a mature, elegant language, designed to be easy and versatile. That's why Esperanto has a rich body of literature written in and about the language, and Klingon doesn't; why Esperanto has official offices at the United Nations; why UNESCO documents are translated into Esperanto; why Shakespeare has been translated into Esperanto.
