Linguistic prejudice comes from a nonsensical notion about what is right and wrong in a language. People that lean on this idea of superiority are as ignorant as those that refuse to acknowledge a language's evolution and enrichment. This rude attitude can be seen in many forms, but it's mostly seen in lesser-developed communities. It can also be found in lots of other places: the television, the radio, in language-learning sites...and the problem will never be fixed as long as someone's way of speaking is worth more than their character.
O preconceito linguístico nasce de uma ideia totalmente incoerente sobre o que é correto e o que é errado em uma língua. As pessoas que se apoiam nessa ideia de superioridade são tão ignorantes quanto aquelas que não admitem a evolução e o enriquecimento de um idioma. Essa atitude grosseira pode ser notada de várias formas, mas é observada principalmente em direção aos povos menos desenvolvidos. São identificados em vários lugares, também: na televisão, no rádio, em sítios de aprendizagem linguística... O problema permanecerá sem solução enquanto o modo de falar de um indivíduo for mais importante que o seu caráter.
In the name of the Brazilian president, Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva, Claudio Soarez Rocha expressed admiration for the continuing effort which Esperanto-speaking people throughout the world are always making, for the greater spread of Esperanto. He wrote, amongst other things,"We know that in the history of mankind, there have been languages that have become intrusive as a result of political power, such as Latin, or to a certain extent French and lately, English. We very much wish, in fact, that one day Esperanto could be accepted by the majority of the nations, as a language adopted to facilitate communication without linguistic privileges."
Em nome do Presidente Lula, Cláudio Soares Rocha expressou admiração pelos esforços que os esperantistas do mundo inteiro dedicam à difusão cada vez maior do esperanto. Ele escreveu ainda: "Sabemos que, na história da Humanidade, línguas impuseram-se em conseqüência da hegemonia política, como o latim, o francês – em certa medida – e posteriormente o inglês. Ansiamos para que, de fato, algum dia, o esperanto possa ser aceito pela maioria das nações como língua adotada para facilitar a comunicação sem privilégios linguísticos."
