Native Esperanto speaker | Stela speaking the Esperanto language | Wikitongues

Күн бұрынStela is one of a few thousand native speakers of Esperanto, a constructed international auxiliary language, or auxlang, created by L.L. Zamenhoff in 1887. There over a million Esperantists worldwide. Esperanto was a precursor to Ido, another auxlang.
This video of Stela Besenyei-Merger was self-recorded remotely due to COVID-19 and contributed by Gian Pablo Antonetti; she was in Budapest, Hungary, and he was near Scranton, Pennsylvania. Esperanto is a constructed international auxiliary language (auxlang), which is a variety of constructed languages (conlangs) that are intended for use in international communication. Esperanto was created by L. L. Zamenhof in 1887, and has since spread around the world as an option for communication with people who choose to learn the language - people who do so are known as Esperantists. Estimates range greatly due to the fact that anyone can start to learn the language and pick it up or put it down without consequence, but there is anywhere from 60,000 to 2,000,000 people who speak the language worldwide.
Stela is a rarity in the Esperanto community because she is a native speaker of the language - there are less than 2,000 native speakers of Esperanto worldwide. She blogs about her experiences as a native speaker at stelachiamnurk..., and she has a podcast at www.laboren.org/. Read more about Esperanto on our blog: / esperanto-the-living-c... .

Ya, definitely sounds like a Romance language - it's like what one might imagine Romanian to sound like; vaguely Italian and Spanish-like with some random bits of German, Slavic and maybe Hungarian thrown in. To be clear, I have no idea what Romanian actually sounds like but if someone told me this was Romanian rather than Esperanto, I wouldn't have cause to dispute it.

Esperanto is interesting in that it is the only conlang that has managed to create anything resembling a language community. Technically, anyone who grows up speaking a language as a primary language is considered a “native” and you can do that anywhere, but the adoption of Esperanto in some official contexts really solidifies the possibility of this occurring naturally rather than by arbitrary enforcement.

He is a fluent speaker as his mother was Esperanton and he spoke it at home.

@mosamosi Oh yes. Last I heard there are at least 40 000 titles, some of which are originally in Esperanto. The Austrian National Library has a museum for planned languages, Esperanto the biggest. And they have quite a lot of books as well. Somewhere in the 1920's (IIRC) both the president of Austria and the mayor of Vienna used Esperanto. Tolkien actually knew it, as did Jules Verne and Leo Tolstoj. Tolstoj sadly decided to back down due to the Russian censorship, though, to not draw too much negative attention to Esperanto. And then there's the music. Quite a lot of original pieces as well in Esperanto. Generally, the quality is... let's call it "varying" but I guess the best may be found at vinilkosmo.com. There are a few artists that stand out and seems to have stood the test of time. The bands that pops out of memory are Persone, Amplifiki, Teamo, Perdita Generacio for example.

Zamenhof appears to have been bilingual: speaking Yiddish and Russian at home (some sources mention Polish, too). From his father, a teacher, he would also learn German and French, as well as Hebrew. In the Warsaw gymnasium, he studied the classical languages: Latin, Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic. He also had an interest in Lithuanian, Italian and Spanish.

Really interesting history behind Esperanto, the guy who created it wanted to make an easy to learn language to make mutual understanding across national, linguistic, and ethnic lines more feasible. I think his experience growing up Jewish in a very sectarian era in central/eastern european history helped inform his vision for a more humane, connected world. I feel like if he was attempting the same project today he'd integrate more elements from world languages he lacked access to at the time, to make it more universally easy (or hard) to learn to speak. Less Eurocentric, in any case. His use case back then was understandably focused on European conflicts, but the use case has expanded since then.

Esperanto is a great language. I could understand her very easily even though I never studied very intensely. I did Duolingo, some stuff on Lernu years ago, and a lot of reading things in Esperanto. I use it mainly to read things other people have written/created - blogs, articles, or podcasts.

Hace unos dos años oí hablar del idioma esperanto, me interesó mucho y empecé a aprender en la aplicación de Duolingo. Me sorprendió bastante que pude entender varias frases sin la necesidad de leer los subtitulos. Aunque no soy constante en mis lecciones, me alegra muchísimo que en serio estoy aprendiendo el idioma ❤😊

I just started learning Esperanto a couple months ago, and it's super interesting that there are people who speak it as their native language. And yes, it's very easy, considering after only a couple months, I could understand most of what she was saying (but of course captions are always helpful).

Much obliged! The first time I listened without captions, and didn't understand anything! After seeing your comment, I turned on the Esperanto captions and was able to recognize a word here and there. When I switched to English captions it was a lot easier to "reverse engineer" and figure out which Esperanto words mean what. I have an ancient beginner's Esperanto textbook that I've never cracked, but now I'm inspired to give it a try! Thanks again!

I may be the only child to ever ask their parent for a "Teach Yourself Esperanto" book for Christmas. That was 50 years ago. I started reading it but this was way before the internet so I never did learn how it sounded and I never found another speaker to speak to. This is the first time I have heard it. It is an interesting mixture of sounds from other European languages. It's too late for me to start learning it again it now.
