Esperanto Wikipedia

Okay, so you know how there are lots of languages in the world? Like English, Spanish, Chinese, and more. Well, there is a language called Esperanto that was made by a man named L. L. Zamenhof a long time ago.

The idea behind Esperanto was to make a language that everyone could easily learn and understand, no matter where they come from. It is kind of like a mixture of different languages but with simpler grammar and vocabulary.

Now, Wikipedia is a website where people share information about lots of topics, like animals, countries, food, and more. And on that website, there is a version of Wikipedia in Esperanto! So people who speak Esperanto can read and learn from it.

Do you know what’s really cool? People from all over the world can use Esperanto to connect and talk with each other, even if they speak different languages as their first language. And with the Esperanto Wikipedia, they can learn even more about all sorts of things.
