patrik:Very interesting!lingvokapablo:So, where can I see some of these older versions of Esperanto?If you can already read and understand high-level E-o, then you can find info here. Just download the fifth issue, and read "Variantoj de esperanto iniciatitaj de Zamenhof" by Christer Kiselman. It has almost complete information of the proto-Esperantos of 1878 and 1881, the Reformed Esperanto of 1894, and the neologisms proposed by Zamenhof.

sudanglo:One little-reported episode is that Dr Who travelled back in time and let Zamenhof see some modern texts in Esperanto, which helped him (Zamenhof) to see what features of Esperanto were likely to be stable and useful in international usage.Do you know which year/episode?

I meant episode in the sense of something that happened (okazaĵo/epizodo), not screened programme in a series.
I do recall that there was an episode (aktorita) on TV where Dr. Who met Van Gogh and gave him some encouragement about his art.

(hm, sorry, I'll go do something more useful than spamming about a crazy aliens in a serious thread. But that's a favorite subject of mine lately and I couldn't resist )
