    I've heard that Esperanto is mostly based on European languages making it much easier to learn for speakers of those languages than for anybody else.

      im not saying it should be esperanto, which is also very old and nobody speaks it. if someone designed a better one there'd be no reason not to use that instead. i defend the concept of a constructed 'universal' language for international communication
