Esperanto is an artificial language, was devised in 1887 by Dr. Zamenhof from Warsaw, Poland. It is based on the elements of the foremost Western languages and is easier to master than any national tongue, for its grammar rules are completely consistent.

The French Academy of Sciences has called Esperanto "a masterpiece of logic and simplicity."
