Thread: Esperanto?

Is anyone interested in Esperanto? If yes, could we open a group for it?

Esperanto? Do people actually learn that anymore?

Yes, many do that.

In China alone are 17 Universities teaching it. In Hungary, it was stated as a living language, so that the students can elect it for their school-leaving exams (it's the third most taken language in Hungarian schools).

Of course, in most countries, you have to learn it by yourself.

While we're at it, could we have an Udmurt lounge?

What the deus?

I'll just take a wild stab in the dark. "Ud" means "out", in Germanic languages. And "murt" looks like it's related to "dead" or "murder". Danish or Icelandic could facilitate such a word.
But, I'm guessing none of the above. My real guess is it's a village language in Indonesia, or South-East Asia? Or even Pakistan/Bangladesh regions? A Hindi off-shoot? (I'm just clutching at straws)

Shame on you brett, Udmurt is part of your beloved Finno-Ugric group. It's still spoken (although not much) in Udmurtia in Russia. I have an Udmurt duck in my bookcase.
It functions as a whistle.
There you go.
Oh, and I met a teacher of Udmurt once. I think I said that before, but somehow I never tire of telling people.

Just because I like the Finno-Ugric group, doesn't mean I'm any good at it.
Infact, I sometimes get interested in languages purely because they are my weak-spot in comprehension, so I want to demystify them.
