While I do not speak or read Esperanto yet, I do find the language interesting, so I will try to follow this thread (well, I find languages and their development interesting overall, but Esperanto in particular due to it being very much much created rather than evolved).

Sorry to disappoint, if you were expecting a post in Esperanto, the best I can do is find a list of phrases and wish you good luck in your search.

Ĉion bonan!

Treverend: I posted in English so I don't mind if you reply in English. :) Maybe think about learning it someday, it's pretty easy and I heard studies have shown that once you learn it that it makes learning other European languages like Italian, Spanish and French much easier because it wires your brain to learn them quicker.
I did study French (though I've forgotten most of what I did learn, as I don't actually use it, and have little interest in using it) and a bit of Latin, and can often deduct the meaning of words from other Latin-based languages, and my own Swedish helps a bit with some Germanic-based ones.

You speak Esperanto, I assume, from your creating this thread? You wouldn't know of any musical groups writing their texts in Esperanto? While I am mostly interested in various forms of metal, I appreciate other genres as well as I try to expand my library to cover as many languages as I can.

Treverend: If you're commenting to troll.. just don't. It doesn't phase me anyway. If you're not interested in Esperanto, good on you.
Not to mean any offense and I am not trolling, but just to showcase a cool thing, in Final Fantasy 11 the MMO it has a increadibly beautiful yet tragic music piece with a choir that sings in Esperanto:

Rimmer: Oh yeah? Well, as the Esperanto would say, “Bonvoro alsendi la pordiston, lausajne estas rano en mia bideo!” And I think we all know what that means.
Holly: Yes, it means, “Could you send for the hall porter, there appears to be a frog in my bidet.”

The first time I ever heard of Esperanto was in Harry Harrison's novels about the Stainless Steel Rat (awesome series if you have not read it). It's the universal language in the future on all the planets :) Sadly I don't speak it though.

James Bolivar diGriz? Awesome character.
Well, I don`t speak Esperanto. I guess, that there are less than 0,001 percent of mankind who speak that.

Interesting! I didn't know such a thing existed.
I don't really get the point, though...isn't it easier to just pick a language and have everybody learn/speak that? That's kind of what happened with English in Europe, right?

English does seem to be the universal language so I doubt Esperanto will take over in that aspect. But at the time when this language was created English was not the universal language and the idea behind Esperanto was a good one.

I had a good buddy in high school who was teaching himself Esperanto.

On a whim.

Because that's the crowd I rolled with in High School.
