Hello everyone. I am planning to start a community of esperantists. After the Esperanto lando server on teamtalk was taken down, I've started planning to create a new community of mainly blind esperantists. Not only for the purpose of recreating it, but also for getting rid of the misconception that most, if not all blind esperantists are russian or slavic. Anyone who is interested to become part of the community can contact me whenever possible. Saluton al ĉiuj. Mi planas komenci komunumon de esperantistoj. Post kiam la Esperanta lando-servilo ĉe teamtalk estis malkonstruita, mi ekplanis krei novan komunumon de ĉefe blindaj esperantistoj. Ne nur por rekrei ĝin, sed ankaŭ por forigi la miskomprenon, ke la plej multaj, se ne ĉiuj blindaj esperantistoj estas rusaj aŭ slavaj. Ĉiu, kiu interesiĝas fariĝi parto de la komunumo, povas kontakti min kiam ajn eblas.

I'm interested, I mean I don't know a lot of esperanto but yeah.
#103 mohammed
Diana, I will be teaching and giving learning resources for those who are becoming part of this thing.
#104 marchoffmann
mohammed, random question. You told me at some point you know a lot. Of languages. How much norwegian do you speak.
#105 mohammed
Marc. I can speak norwegian quite well I'd say. Not like a native but i do speak it well
#106 marchoffmann
ah. That's cool. Because I was actually interested in opening up a norwegian elten thing. Well I know me living here, then 2 norwegians and 1 not living there but having it as her mother tung. Though if I'd open up that comunity it'd be full of gramatical mistakes probably, because I'm still learning. Curious how many people we have who can speak it anyway.
#107 mohammed
Not sure. I know two or three norwegian natives here
#108 DianaCician
Lol I just found here that I created a while ago a group for talking only about languages, what do I do with it now?
#109 mohammed
Ug no idea
#110 ArcticMoon
Just saying, most of those lots of languages are conlangs anyway, or dead languages which people barely speak.
#111 mohammed
Calling a language with 2000 native speakers a dead language. Not to mention that it's spoken by 2000000 people and taught in different universities cross the globe.
#112 fatih
Include who wants ın that group, such as me.

#113 marchoffmann
out of those 2m speakers, who of those are in any blind comunity
#114 mohammed
Marc, A few hundreds, they all seem to be of slavic origin though, in the blind community at lest. And they disappeared after esperanto lando got takendown
#115 DianaCician
Maybe for the fact that they have nowhere totalk now or they went on their own private ones?
#116 mohammed
Diana's right I guess.
#117 ArcticMoon
Lol, a linguist shouldn't misunderstand so a simply written english message. What I said is out of those twenty or so languages you know, most are either dead or can't be called as an official language. I'm afraid with my 4 languages I can communicate with more people then I'd have been able to with klingon, elvish, or anything else.
#118 mohammed
Actually not. Only 6 of these 27 languages I know are constructed, and 2 are dead. Your statement is false
#119 fatih
Can you list the languages that you know, Mohammed? II'm just curious.
