Even most Esperanto speakers have abadoned the ideology of Finvenkismo (the belief that Esperanto will become the primary language of the world, overtaking other languages) as it's both unrealistic and has several flaws
Esperanto is a flawed, Eurocentric language, and we should celebrate linguistic diversity, not treat it as a problem needing to be solved
I was only joking. Esperanto is cool but obviously not going to overtake all other languages lol
The concept of a global language is compatible with linguistic diversity. The Elves, Orcs, and Dwarves all have their own languages, but they also speak the same Common Tongue.
Our world just doesn’t have a common tongue. It has a handful of very colonially dominant languages.
