Esperanto in the News

In the past couple of months, I think there seems to have been more coverage of Esperanto in the news than previously. I enjoyed reading about Esperanto in India. I particularly liked the hinglish:

But, believe it or not, lakhs of Esperantists across the world are actually making this adage true by simply speaking their language.

I hadn't come across the word lakhs before.

I'm not entirely sure of the accuracy of some of the statements, however, like this one:

Over 40 million people across the world use this language, including many communities in Europe which use it as their mother tongue.

Still, it's good to see Esperanto getting coverage in the media.
