Esperanto is the only constructed language that is not an under-construction language, the only one with millions of speakers, and the only one with native speakers, hardback books, books on subjects other than itself, and is the only one used as the language of instruction in a graduate school for the sciences.
It serves as a base (Ido) or a source (Toki Pona) for other constructed languages. In its 150-year history, it has has developed in the same way and at the same pace as natural languages. The sentence "bonvolu alklaki ĉi tiun legilon por vidi mian mojosan retejon" would be valid Esperanto words and good Esperanto grammar in 1887 (though "mojosa" is recent), but Zamenof would have no clue what it means. Every Esperanto-speaker today knows that it means "please click on this link to see my cool website." Which other of these languages can boast hardback books. books on topics other than the language itself, and its own popular music? Esperanto functions as a living language today. There is really no point in reviewing it here.
