Why is Esperanto unlikely to become a widely used language?

What will be an ideal response?


Universal languages, such as Esperanto, are artificial languages; they have no relationship to a culture—hence, they are static and don’t change and evolve as a culture changes and evolves. Nor do universal languages reflect the worldview of any culture. Any universal first language would probably begin to develop unique regional vocabularies and pronunciations over time and would then again begin to reflect cultural differences as the regional dialects grew further apart.
