I thought Hungary had the highest concentration of Esperantists. Though, according to the number of Esperantists registered on lernu.net, the concentration of Esperantists in Andorra is higher than in Hungary. In Andorra 1 Esperantist per 3180 people, in Hungary 1 Esperantist per 7646 people.
Can we call Andorra the country which is the most promising for Esperanto to become an official language? Now the main languages in Androrra are Catalan, Spanish, Portuguese, French. I think such diversity of languages is a good basement for Esperanto as an interethnical language.

Do you know a country where the concentration of Esperantists is even higher?
What city has the heighest concentration of Esperantists?

I don't know about concentration but if you look at the Lernu registrar in terms of numbers:

Brazilo 14691 uzantoj
Usono 25253 uzantoj


http://en.lernu.net/pri_lernu/statistiko/lernu_landoj.php

Of course there are lots of Esperanto speakers in other countries but these two have the highest number. It would be interesting to find out the concentration levels.

I counted concentration by dividing the population of a country (from Wikipedia) by the number of Esperantists (lernu.net users with basic, medium and high level of Esperanto).

Unfortunately, lernu.net statistics for US and Brazil does not give the number of speakers. It only gives the number of users (users with zero level of Esperanto are counted too). The number of speakers you can count if you use "Search users" and specify a country and a level of Esperanto.

That's actually not the number of speakers. It's the number of lernu! users that specify a high level of Esperanto. See the difference?

Lernu statistics gives the number of registered users of the website. Many of them did not specify their level of Esperanto or specified it as zero.

And many of them created their account ten years ago, used it for one week and never again.

I'm hoping under the lernu revamp there will be a way to elminate those from the search function

If there is a new revamp coming up then I would like to suggest a change so that forum posts older than 3 months can't be bumped to the top.

Also, it would be nice to have a small check mark beside the posts that I have read. That way, I don't have to re-read the posts again when someone ads something new.

Why?
