well, it got me thinking. Esperanto was developed by Zamenhoff, who certainly wasn't a woman. He's the father of the language, father of the international community and in a sense, father of all of us here communicating with each other in other languages (please excuse me putting this in english. i'm still not confident enough in esperanto to converse in the forum). So i figured...we all technically learned the language from him, so why not call esperanto, as opposed to the 'mother tounge', the father tounge: "la patra lango."
Kio vi pensas?
