No Languages Were Harmed®, in the production of this post.

Esperanto came onto the scene in 1887.Nowadays Esperanto is seen by Esperantists as an alternative to the growing use of English throughout the world, offering a language that is easier to learn than English, and can also help preserve cultural heritage that can be endangered by English.

That the English language plays the role it plays (for better & worse) is a social dynamic, rising to occasional minor drama, that predates the Internet by a couple centuries.

Actually ... as computer type setting and then outright digital printing literally snatched the great Chinese script & ultimately the language itself from the brink of extinction ... the Internet & WordPress (and Linux) make a substantially more than passing contribution to everything-not-English.
