It depends on the definition, if Esperanto is in the “top 100 languages”. It probably is not, if you consider the mere number of speakers.

But Esperanto is in the top 30 languages of the Wikipedia, one of the 10 languages on http://esperanto.china.org.cn/ and between the 64 languages of http://translate.google.com . In fact I don’t know of any list of languages where Esperanto is _not_ between the top 100 – besides the number of speakers. Do you, Elhana, know of such a list?

We may consider also the amount of text in the internet, cf. http://arxiv.org/ftp/cs/papers/0006/0006032.pdf (number 27 between some languages with latin letters in 2000; I tried to repeat the experiment some weeks ago and Esperanto still seems to have about 0,1 % of the English text amount in the internet, around 5 000 000 000 words.)

While I’m glad that Brian’s publicity work for Esperanto exists, and have no problem with the copied-and-pasted aspect when many readers will be coming across it for the first time, I agree that a degree of fact-checking would be worthwhile.

Even according to an Esperanto-sourced list of languages (http://bertilow.com/lanlin/lingvoj.html) the 100th has 5 million speakers, which is way more than anyone seriously claims for Esperanto. “In the top 3 or 4%” is a valid claim, I think, and makes the point that Esperanto has more speakers than at least 95% of the world’s language.

As for the government employing Esperanto translators, as you say Elhana, it’s unfortunately complete bollocks, as far as I know. That didn’t stop the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph and others reporting that it happened, but they never let mere facts get in the way of a good story.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/3217575/NHS-Direct-pays-to-translate-services-into-Laotian-and-Cherokee.html
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1078677/250-000-lost-translation-NHS-providing-interpreters.html

(The gist of the story is that NHS Direct pays a retainer to an language agency, and that agency has translators/interpreters available in a wide variety of greater- and lesser-used languages; from that tiny kernel of truth springs the ‘journalistic’ claim that “millions is wasted translating into pointless languages”. Ho hum.)

As for “Esperanto cult” — I certainly don’t agree with that, but will take it as hyperbole rather than a carefully researched accusation, unless you’d care to expand on it further.

Brian, all your activity is posting the exactly same copypasted reply into each thread which contains esperanto keyword, containing several ridiculously absurd claims: that esperanto is in top 100 languages, which it isn’t, as the cutoff is ~7 millions, which esperanto never had and never will have ever, and that british government employs esperanto translators, which is crap that was debunked already.
You are disgrace for the entire esperanto cult.

Sorry to hear about your bad experiences. On a forum with more than 60 000 members, it must be difficult to differentiate between a helpful language enthusiast and a cynical spam-merchant. It is worth bearing in mind that although the English Forum is a commercial website (primarily an advertising platform for a Swedish media company), the moderators all work for free and have a lot to keep on top of. Mistakes happen, although that doesn’t justify the poor manners of the administrator when you asked for an explanation.

There is, however, another forum for English speakers in Switzerland where you would be very welcome to share your knowledge and experience of Esperanto:

http://www.englishtalk.ch/showthread.php?632-Esperanto-in-Switzerland

We look forward to seeing you there.

Dankon!
