Ever since Zein posted a comment under the Purism or Pluralism?<\/a> article from a ways back, I’ve been examining some of Esperanto’s “competitors.” I use the word “competitor” lightly, because it’s unfair to say that a language with essentially the same goals as Esperanto should be placed in an adversarial context. Perhaps we could refer to them as alternatives? Regardless, a fairly new and interesting auxiliary language has come into being within the last year, called Ardano<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’m not entirely sure what to make of Ardano yet. From what I’ve seen there’s only a single book in existence about it. However, you can find free lessons in it online.
