sorry, but the explanation you gave of what esperanto is is *totally* off
the wall.  i believe you may have in mind another international language,
though it was made up well over 20 years ago.  it is called interlingua
(i believe) and its sole purpose was for international scientific conventions.
esperanto, on the other hand, was made up by one man--dr. zamenhoff of poland
in the latter part of the 1800's.  it is alive and well today (interlingua is
dead).  there is a variety of literature (original and translation), radio
transmissions (international), and national esperantist groups.  it is taught
as a modern language in some countries of the world.  the movement has
died down a bit over the last decade, but it is far from dead.  it likely
will *not* die out any time soon--it has already survived about a century.
it claims several million speakers today.
"la inteligenta persono lernas esperanton facile kaj rapide!"
"the intelligent person learns esperanto easily and rapidly."
