Aren't we all being a little Eurocentric here?  Many of the ideas
behind Esperanto are admirable, but how come it is mostly derived
from European languages and mostly learnt by European language
speakers?  This is not to denigrate Esperanto blindly, but I do
think it has limitations for most of the world's population.
