Hi Laszlo,

Thanks for this – very interesting, I think you mean a Hungarian poet, though

Esperanto (note spelling) was an attempt to create a universal language. It still has many supporters (some say 2 million people speak it). If anyone’s interested, I actually have a teach yourself Esperanto book!

We have something similar in hungarian called ‘eszperente’ language. Basically you can only use the vowel ‘e’ to form words and sentences.
It was invented by a hungarian poem, Frigyes Karinthy, based on ‘eszperanto’ language, altough some say it originates from Sandor Petofi’s poem Tisza (..Mely nyelv merne versenyezni véled?..)

An example:

Telepszegleten szeszelde
csermely mellett elhelyezve,
benne kedve tetszelegne,
teszem fel, nem esteledne.

Try to read it with text edit’s speech function, its fun!
