    English has become the defacto lingua franca. I’d argue that Esperanto is less accessible than English, because barely anyone knowns it.

      I agree completely. The discussion was what we replace English with however.

      I’m not in favor of replacing English, I’m just saying if we want an alterantive I don’t want it to be a nation-specific language again, so to speak.

        The problem with Esperanto is that it’s still very euro centric. I might nonetheless be willing to learn it, just because I get a kick out of watching native English speakers trying to speak a foreign language
