Esperanto
Esperanto is a remarkably easy to learn language spoken on every inhabited
continent by an estimated two million people. Contrary to myth, it was never
intended to be a magic road to peace but only a politically neutral, quick
to learn medium of communication for people of different cultures and
nationalities. Originally a "planned" language, Esperanto has long since
become a naturally evolving tongue with its own lively literature and
culture, with a large selection of books, magazines, web sites, and
international radio broadcasts from countries in Europe, Asia, and the
Americas. For more than a century is has been associated with a spirit of
friendliness in keeping with the goals of ISFGW, which uses Esperanto in
addition to English as its official working languages.
Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Inspired in part by Eleanor Roosevelt, and first adopted by the nations of
the world in 1948, this declaration lists the basic rights that all human beings
should be able to enjoy. According to
Guiness, it has been translated into more languages than any other
document known.
