AI overview
Esperanto is an artificial language created in 1887 by L. L. Zamenhof to serve as a universal second language that would help people from different countries communicate with each other. Though it never achieved widespread adoption globally, it remains the most widely spoken constructed auxiliary language in the world and has maintained a community of speakers and enthusiasts since its creation.
