iConji Resurrects Pictographs for the Cell Phone Era {Switched}
May 30th 2010 10:33AM iConji will certainly not solve the worldwide language problem. Especially if you cannot afford a mobile phone.
A long-term solution must be found and the international language, Esperanto, seems to presenting itself more frequently now.
I would also recommend a glimpse at http://www.lernu.net or http://www.esperanto.net

Feb 12th 2010 5:29AM Why not look long term and have a spoken international language, on a person-to-person basis :)
We seem to be back to Esperanto here. Just have a look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2LPVcsL2k0

'Avatar' Fan Covers "Colors of the Wind" in Na'vi {Scifi Squad}
Jan 19th 2010 12:52PM I like neither na'vi nor klingon as the future global language. Especially when you have to dress up for it :D
We also need a future international language. One which is easy to learn, as well !
And that's not English! Esperanto? Certainly yes!

Dec 30th 2009 1:03AM Good luck to Esperanto :)
It's a pity that many people do not know that it has become a living language.

'Avatar' and the Culture of the Na'vi {Scifi Squad}
Dec 21st 2009 1:19PM And before "Avatar" and "Star Trek" there was Bill Shatner speaking Esperanto, in the horror film called "Incubus".
See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F77k6SQX7iQ&feature=related
As an Esperanto speaker I found it terrifying! His Esperanto pronunciation that is, not the film.

Buck up: Soros says dollar will remain world's go-to currency {Daily Finance}
Apr 7th 2009 1:53PM Did you know that George Soros would not be a multi-billionaire if it were not for the international language Esperanto?
Born in Hungary in 1930 as Gyorgy Schwartz, the family changed its name in 1936 to Soros, which in Esperanto means "to soar."
The Soros name-change was an effort to protect the Jewish family from the rise of fascist rulers and the whole family spoke Esperanto at home.
As a native Esperanto speaker, (someone who has spoken Esperanto from birth), George Soros defected to the West in 1946, while attending an Esperanto youth meeting in Switzerland.
Esperanto enabled Soros both to defect, and to become the 28th most wealthy man in the World, according to the Forbes rich list.
