Esperantido facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Esperantido is a name for languages that come from Esperanto or are inspired by it. Think of them as "children" or "cousins" of Esperanto. Esperanto itself is an artificial language, meaning it was created by people, not developed naturally over time.

The person who created Esperanto was an eye doctor named L. L. Zamenhof. He introduced Esperanto in 1887. Later, in 1894, he even suggested some changes to his own language, calling it "Reformed Esperanto."

What is an Esperantido?

An Esperantido is a language project that uses Esperanto as its starting point. People who create Esperantidos often want to make changes they think will improve Esperanto, or they want to explore new ideas for a universal language.

The Most Famous Esperantido

The most well-known Esperantido is a language called Ido. While Ido is interesting, it's not nearly as popular as the original Esperanto. Esperanto remains the most widely spoken constructed language in the world, especially among languages made to help people from different countries communicate.
