Mdy and dmy
editAs far as I know, Esperanto uses dmy as Calendar date. The article however uses mdy. Wouldn't it make more sense to follow the style Esperanto uses, so switching to dmy? Although it is not a nation, I believe MOS:DATETIES applies and MOS:DATERET could be circumenvented if there is consensus. Dajasj (talk) 08:49, 23 April 2025 (UTC)
- It is recommended to use YYYY-MM-DD in Esperanto: https://bertilow.com/pmeg/gramatiko/nombroj/datoj.html#i-cs4 — 2A00:1E88:B00D:5F00:A82F:3A6B:1B66:5E51 (talk) 15:41, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, but using words this source also prefers dmy right? Dajasj (talk) 15:47, 4 May 2025 (UTC)
- From my understanding, yes. — 2A00:1E88:B00D:5F00:C6F:5819:5EB:4D8A (talk) 12:59, 5 May 2025 (UTC)

Why different numbers of natives?
editIn the infobox it says 1000 native speakers while it says in the text there are 2000 Bananakingler (talk) 14:31, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
dz
editOn 20 May, I made two edits which, together, remove /d͡z/ from the table of phonemes and relegate discussion of that supposed phoneme to a tablenote. User:Kwamikagami reverted that edit. I have begun a discussion on Talk:Esperanto phonology. Anyone who is interested in the phonemic status of /d͡z/ or the representation of the relevant sources on this page might want to participate there. Pathawi (talk) 12:15, 22 May 2026 (UTC)
monero
edita new paragraph:
- Esperanto's flexible vocabulary system allows it to continues to adapt to modern technology and appear in contemporary digital culture. The privacy-focused cryptocurrency Monero (from Esperanto monero = "coin"), originally called Bitmonero, demonstrates how the language naturally generates compound terms for new concepts.
Eh? I guess the former name (a calque of Bitcoin) is the illustration, but that does not immediately leap out. There must be better examples. —Antonissimo (talk) 01:32, 10 July 2026 (UTC)
ghetti
edit- The Charlie Chaplin film The Great Dictator (1940) showed Jewish ghetto shop signs in Esperanto.
The phrase "Jewish ghetto" is linked to Warsaw Ghetto. I doubt Chaplin intended it to be so specific; it's not even clear to me that the barber lived in a formal ghetto, rather than an ethnic neighborhood like many others. —Antonissimo (talk) 19:19, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
