Esperanto FAQs

This section of the Scottish Esperanto Association site is meant primarily for original material. It will be lightly edited; but those who contribute to it may not always agree 100%. This is not a problem for the webmaster. In what sphere of human activity is there absolute agreement? Visitors must decide for themselves.

However, there is fundamental agreement concerning a number of key matters: there is a language problem; there is language discrimination; Esperanto has an important role to play; and, finally, Esperanto is an extraordinarily powerful and eloquent language.

Moreover, even web editors often suffer navigational problems; so a link to a basic Esperanto FAQ site should hopefully be useful. It is not perfect; and needs some revision, but it contains pertinent facts for the enquirer.

The FAQs go beyond the defence of Esperanto (apologetics), but this should is an added bonus!

Material about Esperanto appears in scores of languages; but an English Google search produces no results for “Esperanto apologetics” (update from webmaster: it does now!); so it would seem that this part of the SEA site is breaking new ground.

Scots are notoriously argumentative. This sub-site proves the point once again!
