Wow, Ido is a beautiful language. It sounds better than Esperanto in my opinion.

That stillborn latin-french Frankenstein monster has no chance against real, modern languages like English, Arabic or Chinese with strength in their loins. It was just an eschar on the body of dying, decadent Europe.

@WolfsFurz Mondlango is simply another offspring of Esperanto but modified somewhat like IDO.

Subjective fancies and zealous fanatics will be the death of the constructed auxiliary language. Esperanto was a good basis but needed much improvement so Ido came and took those reigns, however not surprisingly the Esperanto community acted like Zamenhof was a prophet and his word was unchangeable (even by himself for the better) and fought tooth and nail for Esperanto to stay as ugly and broken as it was and to this day we still have this viscous downward spiral of hopeless dreams.

I speak Spanish and Esperanto, but I was able to understand most of this without ever studying any Ido. I will stick with Esperanto, but I applaud Ido.

esperanto estas pli bela

I speak Esperanto, but this song is very beautiful. I love when people learn any Inter Aux language (:

Unfortunately, no auxlang will succeed. Ido is one of the best, but it's grammar still has issues. LFN is probably the easiest to learn and most regular. But, no auxlang can supplant English as the universal language. It's just too useful and it's actually pretty simple to learn, although difficult to master. As a Korean, it took me over 8 months to learn English and another year to pretty much master it. But, then again, I was very young. Anyway, I like Ido, LFN and Glossa best. Good luck.

There are about 100 Esperanto derivations (Esperantidoj). Ido was not even the first. Some of the esperantidoj are crazily funny.
For me Ido would have been better as the IAL winner, because my native language is Spanish, but Ido caused that natives of Germanic and Slav languages felt excluded, and then opposed the idea of an auxlang. And worse, Ido brought : schism, demoralization, desorientation, endless quarrels, enemities, bad press, and pathological reform-mania. Great record, Ido !!

So Ido or Esperanto? Ido is newer right?

Anybody knows about Mondlango? An artificial language based on English words and grammar.
Sorry, I just deleted your comment (hit remove when I tried to hit reply). Here's what you wrote:
"get back to me when ido has anywhere near the number of speakers as esperanto. it IS the way forward... as in, it's not the NOW but it IS the future, hopefully."

And now to reply to that: get back to you on what? I'm not the one making any claims that Ido IS the future. Right now none of the IALs are the future, much as we'd like them to be. Here's hoping one of them succeeds.

oh right, i understand. i was just being hopeful. you say none of the IALs are the future but how do you know? i know what you mean- they aren't as successful as they should be, but you don't know how they will turn out in the future. i can see a day when esperanto suddenly shoots up in poularity. like if a celebrity starts learning it (that seems to be the only way of getting things done these days).

Sure, and I'm up for that. Thanks to Ido and talking with other auxlangers I can already understand just about anything written in Esperanto so it's no problem for me. I like every IAL I see to a certain extent, and Esperanto is no exception.
