mungouk Posted June 23, 2021 at 11:43 AM Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 at 11:43 AM One for the language nerds... I just read this very interesting article on Radiichina about the history of Esperanto in China, and how it possibly even influenced the development of Hanyu Pinyin. Esperanto, China’s Surprisingly Prominent Linguistic Subculture is Slowly Dying Out The history of Esperanto in China goes back over 100 years https://radiichina.com/esperanto-subculture/ btw thanks to whoever it was who recommended Radiichina on the forums in the last few months... the quality of articles is great. You can follow them on Facebook, LinkedIn (etc) to see the latest content. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lu Posted June 23, 2021 at 12:40 PM Report Share Posted June 23, 2021 at 12:40 PM What a cool article, thanks for sharing! My random China Esperanto fact to contribute is that poet Bei Dao spoke it (I seem to recall he was also fairly important in the Chinese Esperanto community, but I forgot the details). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeshi Posted June 24, 2021 at 02:12 AM Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 at 02:12 AM I'm amused that there is still so much state media in Esperanto. I had no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
