Mevido:For me, "esperanto" is just a language! what else?+1
And there was a discussion about this in the Esperanto-language board some weeks ago.

However, Esperanto speakers come in all sorts of political and religious shades, and very often the connection ends there. Full stop.

Cisksje:On the occasions when I've met other Esperanto speakers I've always felt some connection with them I don't feel with speakers of other languages. I suppose it's because people who have taken the bother to learn a minority language with a particular internationalist focus must have something in common with me.Yes, I concur. My experience when you meet an Esperantist is that it's like meeting a distant relative you've never met before. Often the fraternal-sounding term 'samideano' is used. ('member of the same idea'.. sounds better in EO!)
