I have decided to take up the language, however I don't know know anyone who speaks the language. Is there anyone in the warlight community who knows the language or is also thinking about learning it so I can practise.

Dankon,

Que?

I took a few classes in it, but i found it an awful language. The philosophy behind it (a universal language) is impossible to achieve at this point of time, which is why esperanto never got far.

and universal? well it isn't really universal, since it only takes in count European languages, other languages such as Chinese are omitted.

Let's be honest - English is more applicable as a universal language.

Is it liek WACO? Cuz if it is i can help u

How so PE? English was imposed but with all due respect it isn't the best choice nor the most applicable language, since it isn't the easiest nor the most logical language, in contrary of Esperanto and some other constructed languages, that were created to purposely allow people to learn them faster and easily. As you seem to ignore it PE, Esperanto did have some success particularly in the 1890s-1910s, during that time it was not far to be adopted officially as the main diplomatic language, but sadly WWI slowed this veritable infatuation for this language, but it never stopped at all, nowadays it is still spoken by millions of person and officially used by many non governmental organizations and associations as far as China that currently uses Esperanto in some of its international media and communication.

English is better cuz more people speak it duh

Of course the Frenchie types an 8 line rebuttal to one comment about a British language questioning his superiority!

No, but you won't be able to do much international dealings without it.

Ahah poor PE convincing people is not your thing right? Improve your persuasion skills would you x) Because your post does not explain at all how English is more applicable. If a language is more spoken, logically speaking that does not mean it would be more applicable/more suitable as an international language at all. English is the main diplomatic language nowadays because it was imposed, not because objectively speaking that language should have been the best one to become the international language of reference.
In terms of logic, the language of diplomacy/international communication should be the easiest language that could be learnt faster and objectively neutral politically, ideologically and would culturally speaking, not favorize any nation/people, since this language is not spoken natively by any ethnicity/people/nation specifically. Now I am not saying Esperanto is the best language either, you have other constructed languages that could be even easier than Esperanto itself! But if we just compare English and Esperanto, then there is no discussion possible, an interesting stat: it needs 1500 hours for someone learning English to be able to speak it rather well, whereas it only needs 150 hours for someone learning Esperanto!

Anyway, it's rather funny to only see Anglos (PE, Ox) defending their cherished language!
OxthePatriot, how sweet <3

Oh esperanto is easier to learn and understand, but English is already the de facto international language.

There could be worse imposed tongues. Spanish, Russian, Turkish, much harder than English.

Russian seems rather hard indeed, Turkish well, we can't be objective since most of us speak an indoeuropean language, so we would need some serious linguistic works on it to show which language is grammatically, phonologically, etc, the best. French is definitely harder than English when it comes to grammar, that's also right.
As for Spanish, I highly doubt it is harder than English. It is more the contrary for what I know.

English isn't obligatory to learn.

What language is your comment in?                     English!
What language is the website in?                         English!
What language is the game in?                            English!
What language is spoken in over 100 countries?     English!
What language is the only relevant language?        English!

Jump back a few hundred years, and any country that didn't speak English was invaded.


Rule Britannia!

Britons never never never shall be slaves!!

I'M NO ANGLO

and PE I never denied that, English is the de facto international language, but not because objectively it was the most suitable/applicable language we could find. This is why I responded to your post since that was wrong.

To Koala - sure, it may not be the best suited for international language. But it is, so suck it you frog.
