About This Page

This part of Wikipedia is in Esperanto. For information about Esperanto the language, in English, see http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Esperanto. There are several free Esperanto courses available on the Internet:

• [Esperanto Viva] - lessons about the language and culture
• [Curso de Esperanto] - computer program with sound files
• [Free Esperanto Course] - the classic correspondence course

For the English-language Wikipedia, see http://www.wikipedia.com/. For other language wikipedias, see Internacia Vikipedio.

English speakers may notice that the "last names" of people in this site are capitalized. That is not an error. In Esperanto culture, it is typical for the family name to be capitalized, so someone from the United States might write their name like Chuck SMITH, where the family name is last. However, a Chinese person would put their family name first like [ZHU Xin]?. This way we know which name is a person's family name.
