There was a time in my life when I thought Esperanto was the name of the Lone Ranger's sidekick.

Brian Barker is right.

One can only be amazed by the story of the father who spoke Kliongon to his son.If he did really want to see if his son could acquire an artificial language,he should have tried Esperanto.

I have met a few native speakers of Esperanto – it can be done.

Please stop perpetuating the lie that the young Speers boy didn't learn English like any other average child in the United States. His mother spoke English to him, as did everyone else he came into contact with.

What strange alignment of forces brought this story to the blogosphere's attention after more than a decade, anyway?

Klingon is difficult, but Esperanto is worldwide. And easy, of course :) As in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2LPVcsL2k0
