Gerardo,

As I believe Travis tried to point out in an earlier post (tongue in
cheek?), there *are* no "native speakers" of Esperanto, because it is an
*artificial* language, *not* intended  (by its creator) to *replace* any
existing language (& thereby have the opportunity to *become* some child's
"native" language), but rather be an *easily* learned *second* (non-native)
language which could facilitate & promote communication between peoples
whose *native* languages differ.
