Esperanto is a language, a planned language. Esperanto was published on July 26, 1887. It is 130 years old, as of April 2018. There are two main uses for Esperanto. Unintended use: It is a logical language with few rules and no exceptions. Learning it offers a good base to learn other languages. It helps to understand grammar, and it is learned in a short time compared with other languages. It should be the first language to learn, to save time when learning other languages. Main use: Esperanto is a language to be used the same way as other languages, plus a few other advantages. Most languages are useful in one or several countries or regions.
