Esperanto is an artificial language designed to serve internationally as an secondary means of communication among speakers of different languages. The creation of Ludovic Lazar Zamenhof, a Polish-Jewish ophthalmologist(眼科学者), Esperanto was first presented in 1887. An international movement to promote its use, although originally annoyed with 'disagreement, has continued to flourish and has members in more than 80 countries. Esperanto is used internationally across language boundaries by at least one million people, particularly in specialized fields. It is used in personal contacts, on radio broadcasts, and in a number of publications of both modern works and classics. Its popularity has spread from Europe— both East and West — to such countries as Brazil and Japan. It is, however, in China that Esperanto had had its greatest impact. It is taught in universities and used in many translations (often in scientific or technological works). El Popola Cinio (From People's China), a monthly magazine in Esperanto, is read worldwide. Radio Beijing's Esperanto program is the most popular program in Esperanto in the world. Esperanto's vocabulary is drawn primarily from Latin, the Romance languages, English, and German. Spelling is completely regular. A simple and consistent set of endings indicates grammatical functions of words. Thus, for example, every noun ends in o, every adjective in a, and the infinitive(不定式) of every verb in i. Esperanto also has a highly productive system of constructing new words from old: ami, to love; malami, to hate; malameno, the tendency to hate.
