(Before the WW2 French was the international language.) • Do you think why Esperanto couldn’t become popular. Esperanto is an artificial language which was created in 1887 for the purpose of making a world second language. Its grammar is easier than English. A few people in Europe still use it. Some organizations state it as their official language.
