    Reminder that esperanto is a bad IAL due to being based almost entirely on European languages, having a phoneme Inventory based off one of the languages Zamenhof happened to speak and having an agglutinative grammar that would be unfamiliar and difficult to many people

      esperanto is a bad IAL due to being based almost entirely on European languages

      It’s great as a European communal language for this reason.

      As a bridge to an IAL it’s significantly easier to train and maintain than the current standard of English.
