Happy Birthday, Zamenhof! 🎉💚

Today, we celebrate the 165th birthday of Ludoviko Lazaro Zamenhof, the visionary creator of Esperanto. His goal was to establish a language that would facilitate communication among people from different countries and cultures, thereby contributing to peace and cooperation among nations.

Esperanto is now the most successful planned language in the world, with millions of speakers in over 120 countries. It is utilized on the internet, in social media, and even in some universities and institutions. But Esperanto is not just a language—it's a movement. It represents a community of individuals united by the common goal of promoting peace, unity, cultural richness, understanding, and cooperation among all people. Esperanto is a language of hope, unity, and love.

Zamenhof's vision is more relevant than ever. In an era of increasing globalization and interconnectedness, Esperanto provides an opportunity for people from diverse cultures and countries to communicate and collaborate without language barriers.

Moreover, Esperanto serves as a valuable tool for inclusion and accessibility, thanks to its simplicity and regular structure. It not only eases communication between speakers of different native languages but also supports neurodiverse individuals who may struggle with learning natural languages or navigating irregular writing systems like English orthography. Thus, Esperanto can promote accessibility in education.

What makes Esperanto so special? Its simple, logical grammar and vocabulary derived from the most common European roots make it incredibly easy to learn. Its phonetic spelling features one sound per letter and one letter for every sound, unlike English or French. Beyond its practical benefits, Esperanto embodies the noble ideals of mutual understanding, cultural exchange, and the brotherhood of all people.

In our increasingly interconnected world, Esperanto has found new life on the internet, where online communities and resources allow learners to connect across borders. It is truly a language of the digital age, used for everything from casual conversation to academic discourse.

As we celebrate Zamenhof's 165th birthday, let us embrace his timeless vision of a more harmonious world, where Esperanto serves as a bridge between cultures. By learning this beautiful language, we honor the legacy of its creator and take a meaningful step toward a more peaceful and productive coexistence for all.

Happy birthday, Zamenhof! Your dream lives on. ✨ Thank you for your inexhaustible legacy and the inspiration you have given us all. Let us unite humanity and reach for the stars! ✨

These are my draft spreadsheets of my research so far. Quite incomplete: I'm missing words, still polishing the Apps Script that I use for IPA transcription and hyphenation and I haven't identified all of the language's implicit suffixes and prefixes yet, but it gives a good idea of what's the deal. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d
