bryku:Can you tell us about some times where difficulty of distinguishing ĥ from h has caused confusion in your use of Esperanto, or provided a barrier to communicating with someone?Vestitor:I don't think altering things for the convenience of English speakers should be called 'improvement'.+1
But acctually ĥ is difficult to distinguish from h. So replacing it with "k" where possible is not such a stupid idea.

erinja:Languages only become official languages of the EU if an EU nation chooses that language as its one and only "EU language". This is why English will lose its official status if and when Brexit takes place (unless one of the English-speaking countries who currently has chosen another language switches its language - such as Malta or Ireland, which currently use Maltese and Irish).We must distinguish national official languages and working languages:
It is absurdly unrealistic that a country would dump its national language, or one of its national languages, for EU use in favor of Esperanto.
English is now working language for European Central Bank.
English is and will be the first "lingua franca"in European Union (E.U.)until?
Esperanto could be help working language
-like help bridging language,
-democratic and fair because easy to learn for the 80% who not at all or bad speak English ;
-fair between English natives and continental Europeans
- springboard for other languages;
- Each continental European can save time and money, about average like until five years of work (10000 hours according to Claude Piron) for a good level
