[video] I assume that google translate approximates the shittiness of Danny's Esperanto skills

[Remember this kid, from a while back? Yeah, Danny Phantom seems to have disappeared once he got cured and stopped being an acidic puddle, but in the meantime, this guy must have taken his place! How strange.]

Ĉu neniu alia scias esperanto? Mi ĵus rememoris paroli gxin!

Uh...heh, if you didn't get that, it was in Esperanto. I'm not totally fluent in it yet or anything, but I was learning it back home!

...Which is actually kinda weird now that I think about it, because I also remember failing every Spanish test I ever took in school...

((OOC: 0.3% on Wulf speaking Esperanto and starting to learn some from Tucker and also resources on the Internet. 30% total regain.))

Then it's still pretty well-known, right? A really secret language would only have a few people who speak it!

Well, it's not really a secret language. It's just...not a language any country really uses. Like, I don't think anyone grows up speaking it.

[overwinters]

Hmmm...

But then I still don't really get it! Why would someone think up a language if it's not really used anywhere? Isn't that just pointless?

[gogoghostpowers]

I don't know... I think it was supposed to be used somewhere, but it just didn't happen that way.

[overwinters]

So were they going to make a new country to use it in..?

[gogoghostpowers]

Uhhh...I kind of doubt that. Maybe use it in a country that already exists? I don't know how countries decide on what languages to use.

But it'd be so weird to suddenly change languages!

.. Hmm, maybe I should ask someone about it who knows a lot about it. It just seems really strange to me. There's no reason at all to suddenly change, I think, it'd just be difficult.

[He shrugs.] I don't really know. All I know is that Esperanto exists and, well, I guess some people have to know it, or else I wouldn't be learning it, would I?

That's true.. But don't you think it's interesting to think about why it was made too? I'm curious now.
