Talk:Ekspreso
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Article was moved from "Ekspreso language" to "Ekspreso". The reason we have articles like "Italian language" is because the word "Italian" can refer to things other than the language, like for instance, a person who comes from Italy. --cprompt 02:50, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)
The article used to read "Ekspreso has proven to be easier to learn than Esperanto..." I don't feel comfortable using the word "proven" in the article unless we can cite some proof; after all, there are a lot of conlangs out there and nearly all aim to be easy to learn. --cprompt 02:55, 7 Jan 2004 (UTC)
With all due respect, given that I have seen no indication that Ekspreso has any speakers beyond its author, I question that it belongs in an encyclopedia in the first place. – McDutchie 09:57, 11 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Through google, I've found a few pages about Ekspreso...this mailing list post, with a reply from the author [1], this article in the Christian Science Monitor [2], this page written in Ekspreso [3]. While I have no doubt that fewer people know about this language than say Esperanto or Loglan, I don't see harm in letting the article stay.

The author has given a three-letter abbreviation for this language of eso. Does this have any actual backing from ISO or IEC? -- Kwekubo
- Doubtful. A google for "eso ekspreso" came up with Wikipedia, a site that is mirroring Wikipedia content, and a few scattered pages, some being posts on a forum.

An external reference or two would be nice. Maybe there is a tutorial out there somewhere?
There is no evidence that Ekspreso exists outside of lists or example pages. I think the article should be deleted, there's no reason to describe a phantom just because other people do. -- 84.176.117.113 2 July 2005 15:43 (UTC)
