What Esperanto IS NOT

• A Pidgin, Creole, shorthand, or primitive language.
• Dead, dying, obsolete, or otherwise moribund.
• Intended as a replacement for national languages.
• A tool of an international conspiracy.
• Completely useless, since everyone in the world speaks English.
• Insufficiently international, since its root words are European and not Asian or African.
• Doomed to disintegrate into local dialects.
