I was pleased to see that the anguage with the fewest irregular verbs is Esperanto, but I don't think that's its only claim to fame.
Readers of your blog might be surprised to learn that Esperanto has an extensive indigenous culture and an original literature to rival that of many ethnic tongues. Naturally it didn't start out that way, but when you have such a large community speaking a common language for such a long time, it's probably inevitable that culture will emerge. People around the world use Esperanto every day for everything from childrearing to religious worship to technical manuals to travel guides. This is the only planned language to have developed like this over 120 years.
Take a look at www.esperanto.net
Yes, and, interestingly, I have introduced Esperanto to my students over the years in a discussion of languages in general. I might add that although Esperanto appears to still be relevant--and apparently it is--most of my students tend to be most interested in English as their urgent goal and few have had a genuine curiosity to explore further...I will visit your site now, however, as I am sure I will be enlightened. Thank you for your post!
