Artistic Forces/Esperanto

Esperanto is the most widely spoken constructed international auxiliary language of humanity in most parts of the world with a huge population of Esperantists, the Esperanto-speaking people. Created by Polish ophthalmologist L. L. Zamenhof (1859-1917) in 1887, it was intended to be a universal second language for international communication, or so-called "the international language". Zamenhof first described the language in Dr. Esperanto's International Language, which he published in five languages under the pseudonym "Doktoro Esperanto". He claimed that the grammar of the language could be learned in one hour, though this estimate assumed a learner with a background in European languages. The term Esperanto translates to the definition: "one who hopes". No other countries have adopted this language as it has not been used as a secondary language of any country, but it entered the education systems of several countries around the world. In Artistic Forces, other factions have this language, most notably the Totalitarian Empire, the Possessed Cartel, and the Global Integrity Association, making them useful of this as a factionally official language. Esperantido (or reformed Esperanto), Esperanto 2, and Ido are derived from this constructed and artificial language.

Because of being an easy-to-learn language for international communication due to a relatively simple grammar, Esperanto has disseminated the world is spoken today in a growing number of countries and it has multiple generations of native speakers, although it is primarily used as a secondary language. Of the various constructed language projects, it is Esperanto that has so far come closest to becoming an officially recognized international auxiliary language; China publishes daily news in Esperanto.

Trivia

 * As an influential and official de facto language for the Totalitarian Empire, modelled after Nazi Germany and the New World Order (Illuminati), Esperanto is closely identical to the German language due to Germanic pronunciations, with letters J, TH, and W are replaced with Y, Z for the voiced "TH" (or D), S for the non-voiced "TH" (or in this case T), and V, respectively, and words that are derived from German, such as "soldato", which is derived from "soldat" as it means "soldier" in German, "sturmo", a derivative of the German word "sturm", meaning "storm" and also "assault", "dankon", which is derived from the German word for "thanks": "danke", but it sounds Old High German and Old Saxon as its alternative forms: "danchōn", "dancōn", and "thankon".
