'''Esperanto''' is an international auxiliary language constructed by ophthalmologist L. L. Zamenhof. It was created to be a universal second language used to communicate internationally. The language was first outlined in Zamenhof's book ''"Dr. Esperanto's International Language" (Unua Libro),'' and has been expanded on considerably since it's publication. The word "Esperanto" means "One who hopes", derived from Zamenhof's pseudonym ''Doktoro Esperanto.''{{Wikipedia|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto}}
