Did you know totalitarian regimes heavily targeted Esperanto in the 20th century?
Hitler attacked it in Mein Kampf and shut down organizations during WWII.
Stalin purged and persecuted Esperantists under suspicions of espionage.
Despite intense persecution, the community survived. Languages don't stay alive for over a century unless people find deep meaning in them.

W00t! So looking forward to this :D
Thinking I'll throw in a few more tunes in my personal language... lately I've been wanting to knit together my #conlang (mazlaani) + toy cult (https://github.com/alexglow/aeiu/wiki) + mind-altering gadgetry (https://github.com/alexglow/mvtagen/wiki – as seen in a couple talks last year).
Still gotta pull together a one-liner for my set, but there'll also be a few new originals & covers, plus some shined-up Space Songs I haven't done in a while :V https://musician.social/@radiofreefedi/117094386371090073

What’s the biggest misconception you’ve heard about Esperanto?
The one I hear most often: "Nobody actually speaks it."
Reality check: It’s spoken in homes, at global events, in original literature, and across everyday friendships worldwide. Plus, it serves as a powerful strategic bridge to mastering other languages faster.
If you’ve been on the fence about diving into Esperanto, this is your sign to start.

In 1905, the first World Congress of Esperanto was held in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France.
It proved something vital: Esperanto wasn't just a code on paper. People from entirely different linguistic backgrounds sat face-to-face and communicated fluently in real time.

Wow, littleFedi shows the "sitelen pona" writing system.
How cool is that? 😀(However, the signs overflow the content warning field, cc @stefano 🤔)

Most languages spread through conquest or government policy. Esperanto grew because ordinary people simply saw value in the idea and chose to participate.
From its first publication in 1887 (Unua Libro), it expanded through letters, local clubs, and international correspondence.
Grassroots connection at its finest.

Orshzowan WotD: Laax [ɬɑx]: (n) Gift, something given away without payment or reward, freely, kindly. Related verbs: k'laax'aa: To give freely, generously, without reward. Ex: “K'laax'aask Vasili tuptup'et.” = “Vasili gave her his heart/love freely.” k'laaxk: To receive a gift. Ex: “K'laaxk'esk Tuliann, Vasili tuptup'et.” Tuliann received Vasili's freely given love.“ #conlang #theavianage #fiction #writing #birdsofmastodon

One of the coolest parts of Esperanto's design is its agglutinative structure.
Instead of memorizing thousands of entirely new words, you combine roots, prefixes, and suffixes in predictable patterns.
It rewards pattern recognition, giving language learners a quick win right out of the gate.

Beautiful poem in Interlingua.
"..., an international language. It extracts the common Graeco-Latin vocabulary present in today's languages.
Here is a translation of the poem:
The sky is a canvas
painted only in gray
Raindrops dance
that haven't yet fallenLittle by little
the first drops come,
slowly begins
the percussive struggleFurious drums
I hear from the roofs,
lying drowsy
in a disheveled bedThe air is full
of the scents of the earth
and my mind of thoughts
that spin and wanderWhen rain falls,
I whisper your name
and behind the gray sky
I see a lightLeaves bend
with heavy drops
The earth is a mirror
that reflects birdsThe fragrance of firs
and of fresh grass
fills the soft
picturesque groundClouds – the poets,
write ethereal verses
and winds carry them
slowly to youI open the window,
hear celestial poems
and perhaps your voice
from the distant forestBut suddenly, in the distance,
the thunder, a brilliance
The lightning wrote
your name to the skyWhen you return,
summer will return
Still in spring
I remain abandonedLittle by little
the rain ends
and I say your name:
Kalini, Kalini"

I'm very much interested in "constructed languages".
Beside being able to understand Esperanto, I learned about "Lingwa de Planeta (Lidepla)" only last year.Lidepla is constructed out of the 10-12 most spoken languges of the world, what makes it more international than Esperanto does.
Here are some example sentences:
"Some phrases will almost seem to be Russian:
Yu snova dumai om sey nove filma.
You think about this new film again.Some phrases may consist almost solely of Chinese words:
Ta shwo ke ta bu yao chi yan, ta yao nangwa.
He says that he does not want to eat mutton, he wants pumpkin.Some may consist of Hindi words:
Me jan ke mata pri pi chay.
I know that mother likes to drink tea.And some are of Arabic ones:
Juma sabah me safari.
On Friday morning I am going for a trip."--
I like the considerations they made while developing the Lingwa de Planeta :)
Their slogan: "Fo unitaa de Arda! - For the unity of the Planet!"

Which of these "constructed languages (conlangs") sound most natural, for your taste?
Selection: Esperanto, Mini Linga, Globasa, Lingwa de Planeta, Dasopya
Example: "Our Father"
ESPERANTO
Patro nia, kiu estas en la ĉielo,
Sankta estu Via nomo.
Venu reĝeco Via.
Estu volo Via, kiel en la ĉielo, tiel ankaŭ sur la tero.
Panon nian ĉiutagan donu al ni hodiaŭ.
Kaj pardonu al ni ŝuldojn niajn, kiel ni ankaŭ pardonas al niaj ŝuldantoj.
Ne konduku nin en tenton, sed liberigu nin de la malvera:
Ĉar Via estas la regado, la forto, kaj la gloro eterne.
Amen.(Tradukis L.L. Zamenhof, 1887)

Stop measuring your language progress by your Duolingo streak. Measure it by what you can actually DO:
→ Can you introduce yourself in Esperanto?
→ Can you read a short beginner text without a translator?
→ Can you write a simple message off the top of your head?
→ Can you follow a slow conversation?Focus on capability over gamified points.

Something new, thought I'd share some of my Orshzowan (eagle dynasty) conlang from The Avian Age series. Today's word: Seh'oo (n) Character, social standing, how one conducts oneself, honor. Ex: "Seh'oo'at kull'as" = "His honor is like a rock" (e.g., an honorable fellow). #conlang #theavianage #fiction #writer #birdsofmastodon
