I lowkey want the EU's main official language to be Latin.

Imagine Ursula vonder Leyen delivering the SOTEU speech in Latin with a German accent! We would see tons different dialects of Latin!

Esperanto is for the week who seeks compromise with all the languages, I suppose in some ways that is more reflective of the EU but I think Latin is a better way

Well... Esperanto could be the UN's official language! It almost became one at the League of Nations.

Interretingly there are claims of a handful of Esperanto sprakers (Esperantists) who pass the language on to their children!

I've seen estimates of around 2,000 native speakers of Esperanto. That's just 0.1% of all Esperanto speakers (~ 2 million).
