A conlang outlined in "La internacia lingvo" (The International Language), published in 1887 by the language's creator, L.L. Zamenhof. The name Esperanto means 'one who is hoping' in the language, and was applied to the language because Zamenhof used the name Dr. Esperanto as a pseudonym. Designed specifically for ease of learning and use, Esperanto is the most widely spoken constructed interlanguage in the world, with an upper estimate of over two million speakers today (however, the lowest estimates place this at a few hundred thousand). In continuous use since its original publication, Esperanto has its own sizeable body of both original and translated literature, newsletters, blogs, and radio broadcasts. Esperanto's use has skyrocketed with the advent of the internet, and user levels will soon be nigh impossible to gauge.
Esperanto has appeared in popular culture on several occasions, usually for ridicule as a 'failed project.' It was most notably used on signs in Charlie Chaplain's "The Great Dictator," for PA announcements in the dystopia film "GATACA," and as the spoken language in William Shatner's first sci fi film, "Inkubus" (Esperanto "Inkubo").

La internacia lingvo, Esperanto, estas planlingvo kun tre regula gramatico. L.L. Zamenhof planis por ghi esti la dua lingvo de la mondo, sed kun malmulte da sukceso. Tamen, Esperanto estas ankorau uzanta hodiau kaj havas pli ol miliono da parolantoj (kaj la nomero multighas).

Get the Esperanto mug.A Spanish expression that when spoken to a woman literally means "how good you are", but is slang for "how sexy you are". One must be careful when using it, as it could be considered rude or impolite, implying "how fuckable you are".

Get the que buena estas mug.Esli is a rare name often used on girls. Beautiful name meaning: Everything! Not easy to find and is very talented in various aspects. Has dark hair and green eyes and always has a smile on her face- very contagious! Not a normal girl; meaning she can't get enough of videogames and taking risks whether it's the adrenaline pumping on coasters to pulling unforgettable pranks. She's a Dork at heart. Gorgeous on the inside and out...But sad thing is she doesn't even know it. Shy at First, but she's just a bomb waiting to explode all her positive energy on you!
Psst: Keep AWAY from Alcohol.

Get the Esrb mug.Overall, probably one of the smartest, sweetest and most intelligent people you will ever meet. A total fashionista, very creative and catches people's attention. She is beautiful, kind and talented, inside and out. Very opinionated, strong-willed and always a quick thinker.She loves sweet things like chocolate and candy. The closest thing to perfection that ever lived.
