I have decided to stop learning latin.

[Anonymous No.18556785]

I will now be learning Esperanto instead.

It's the language of the future, anons.

Instead of reading over 400 good years of Latin writing you'd rather read maybe 60 years of Esperanto "writing"

more like over 2000

Any text is more than just its literal meaning, but unfortunately sometimes all we can grasp for is that. For that reason, translations are a simple resignation rather than a true aspiration, and you already know this so don't play the fool.

latin is about as relevant as esperanto

The language of the future is in fact Mandarin.

maybe if they switch to pinyin

[Anonymous No.18558243]

I prefer the language of the past, a past that is a guide to a better future than the one that they are trying to sell us now.
To be what we were, we simply need to do what we did.

unfortunately the way in which chinese language is constructed, the characters are integral to the ability to read it. I blame their retarded pronunciation.

I live in the city of birth of Zamenhof who was the founder of Esperanto. Dubs decide if I should go and desecrate his monument by spraying anti-semitic graffiti on it

Esperanto is somehow even more "useless" than Latin for "practical purposes". I wont even talk about the literary gap

The hanzi characters are what allow them to understand each other in writing even though the spoken language can be very different. I've been to China and most everyone speaks putonghua (and often some sort of regional dialect); though many of them speak Mandarin with some sort of accent.

I haven't studied Latin in over 10 years but I know for certain that it's a far more worthwhile subject than Esperanto.

Why the fuck didn't esperantofags just bring back latin as the international lingua franca? It served that way for centuries after it died. The only reason not to is atheistic hand wringing about the Church. It would be a thousand times more appropriate a language of international discourse than some autistic conlang.

Zamenhof wasn't from an aristocratic family, and he never intended languages outside Esperanto to appear or for nations themselves to disappear.

[Anonymous No.18559547]

>>18558550
Zamenhof considered using Latin as an international language, but he thought the grammar was too hard for most people.

Either English or Mandarin. If you made me pick, English. I can see all the EU states becoming primarily Anglophone over time, with their native languages dying out. Add India and Nigeria to the mix, and English seems to be here to stay as the lingua franca.
