Esperanto is not an official language of any country. However, it is the official working language of several non-profit organizations, mostly Esperanto organizations. http://language-directory.50webs.com/languages/esperanto.htm Oct 17 09, 6:20 PM

Esperanto has never been an official language of any recognized country. However, there were plans at the beginning of the 20th century to establish Neutral Moresnet as the world's first Esperanto state. Qian Xuantong, a Chinese linguist, promoted the replacement of Chinese with Esperanto.[14] In addition, the self-proclaimed artificial island micronation of Rose Island used Esperanto as its official language in 1968. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esperanto#Official_use Oct 17 09, 6:56 PM

The official languages of the League of Nations were French, English and Spanish (from 1920). The League considered adopting Esperanto as their working language and actively encouraging its use but neither option was ever adopted. In 1921, there was a proposal by Lord Robert Cecil to introduce Esperanto into state schools of member nations and a report was commissioned to investigate this. When the report was presented two years later it recommended the teaching of Esperanto in schools, a proposal that 11 delegates accepted. The strongest opposition came from the French delegate, Gabriel Hanotaux, partially in order to protect the French Language which he argued was already the international language. This opposition meant the report was accepted apart from the section that approved Esperanto in schools. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/League_of_Nations Oct 17 09, 8:30 PM
