Go ESPERANTO in ASEAN

Posted by Dam , Reader : 794 , 12:17:38

It shocked me that i found a wonderful post in the nation blog. I like Nation as a world is because it is open to criticism. I wish more people would join this writer to reform the eduaction system in Thailand or ASEAN as a whole. http://blog.nationmultimedia.com/justconsiderations/2007/07/15/entry-1 Leaning English is a big problem in many countries, countng from the feeling and sentiments etc. Why not go ESPERANTO. A language which carries no feeling of racials and hatre. http://www.lernu.net. Remebered reading the forum a couple of years ago about the discusiion of Espeanto issues in countries which are multiracials. But the big guns come rushing in to deny the learning of this century old language. What if the language issue is not incline to politiccs, will the life better ?

Dam, as to your no colonisation, most science and technical papers are written in English, the Internet is based on English. The industrial revolution that led to the modern age was English. So although it would be less it would still have a high usage.

Dam, a fair comment and there are more uptodate figures elsewhere, but that one had a nice table layout. But the top 5 places are unchanged. Most of my Chinese friends in Malaysia speak Mandarin, even the ones who at home speak Cantonese, Hokkian etc.

Uncle Ian , going through the page that you pasted http://www.krysstal.com/spoken.html, sorry to say that this page has lots of errors and just do not know why no update on it. For example, mandarin is not widely spoken in Malaysia.

Malaysia has only 5 million Chinese and half of them are English educated. Besides, English is a working language in Singapore and which is not included in it.

Therefore, the page is not the most recent one.

Just wondering if there is no conolisation, how would English and Spanish be the official languages of many countries. Perhaps, Thailand should do something like those 'invaders' in the past and bring Thai language to the hall of UN.

Spanish is essential in South America. It is the 4th most common language. See this table http://www.krysstal.com/spoken.html
English is the second most common and is the most widely distributed geographically, Mandarin, Hindi and Spanish are all localised.

Keep walking forward. Don't give up. Don't fed up.

I heard that people in some parts of America speak Spanish. In my University, it is quite popular. Many students study it as major; some choose it as minor subject. For me, I like Spanish dancing style: Flamingo dance.

Languages evolve and compete, just as cultures and nations do. Esperanto has never been anything more than a novelty. English has become the international language, even nations antagonistic towards the English speaking peoples have accepted this.
At the moment Thailand is making poor attempts to introduce English compared to other Asian countries, but it is easier to build on this than to introduce an artificial language which has no native speakers.
