I often heard so many misbeliefs about Esperanto, from people who know absolutely nothing about the language. Sadly, those who spread those rumors are often well educated people.
The common mistakes are:
- There are more Klingon speakers in the world
- The language has no culture
- Esperanto is dead
- Nobody (nobody speaks it)
What is the reason for those people to do that? Does it have any psychological roots? Do we have any investigations on that?
