I have a few questions about the Esperanto movement. I know nothing about it so forgive my ignorance.

1- Does the Esperanto movement have a name? Is there an official membership list or is it less organized?

2- I was reading about the Prague Manisfesto. I like democracy but what does democracy have to do with Esperanto?

?? Is that not clearly outlined on point one of the manifesto on the page you linked to?

Language democracy.

Alkanadi:

The "Esperanto movement" is the collective activity of people who have adopted and use Esperanto. Some belong to formal organisations - with official membership lists - and many don't. Before I have finished this note, some will have dropped out and others will have been drawn in.

In the main English Wikipedia article on our language, section 5.7 outlines why people are attracted to Esperanto, and so form the movement: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto#Goals_of_the_movement

For a tour of formal Esperanto organizations, see: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Esperanto_organizations
but if nothing else, read the article on UEA, the world co-ordinating body for Esperanto: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Esperanto_Association

Then, isn't Esperantujo the name of the movement? Or is that something else?

Special issue of INDECS dedicated to Esperanto
The Phenomenon of Esperanto is the title of a special issue of the journal Interdisciplinary Description of Complex Systems (INDECS).
The question of the size and vitality of the movement for Esperanto is explored in two articles leading to very different conclusions. Krunoslav Puškar (University of Zagreb) looks at the core beliefs of the declining traditional Esperanto movement in Croatia, while Amri Wandel (Hebrew University) examines the rapid worldwide expansion of Esperanto on the Internet, revealing a sharp split between “traditional” structures and the new approaches to Esperanto and its use taken by more youthful learners and users unaffiliated with traditional Esperanto organizations.

The way I think of it ...

la Esperanto-movado is all the *activities* of organisations and individuals involved in the use of Esperanto

la esperantistaro are all the *people* who have adopted Esperanto and contribute in some way to its wider use.

Esperantujo is all the *places and structures* in which Esperanto is used.
