<br>
<br>   Au contraire, mon frere! There's nothing "universal" about Esperanto -
<br>   unless your definition of the universe is Western Europe.

<br>
<br> actually, i used to get a lot of news of the esperanto movement in
<br> china...
<br> 
<br>
<br>No one denies that Esperanto is widely spoken about. However, the point of
<br>my comment was that the origin of Esperanto is exclusive to Western European
<br>languages. You won't find a heck of a lot of Chinese morphemes nestled in
<br>its so-called "universal" grammar and lexicon.
