World Communion For a long time (since antiquity) thinkers around the world dreamed of creating a language which is comprehensible to everyone. In the Middle Ages, world language was Latin. However, Latin is quite complex and nowadays it is considered "dead" language. Some scientists have long tried to revive the Latin and put it into use. However, neither attempt was unsuccessful. Studying the same for all national languages to enhance communication is also very difficult task. And the use of some of the national languages as an international impossible because of ethnic considerations. Such a solution would be prejudicial to the rights of other peoples in comparison with the nation language, which would choose as International. Therefore, the universal language should be neutral, that is not owned by any of the language groups. Therefore, it would be reasonable to develop an artificial language, which would not have the shortcomings that are inherent "Living" languages. And Rene Descartes, and Jan Amos Comenius, and Francis Bacon and Isaac Newton and many others have attempted to develop a language that could communicate with scientists around the world, the so-called "philosophical" language. But their works more like algebraic calculations and formulas, as a means of communication. And so, in 1887, Ludwik Zamenhof - the doctor from Warsaw, has developed a language, which later became the language of global communication. It exists to this day, and called Esperanto. Ludwik Zamenhof was born in Bialystok, which belonged to the Russian Empire and was located on the territory which today is Poland.
