Esperantonomo

Esperantonomo is a term used in the Esperanto community to refer to a person who is a native speaker of Esperanto. The term is derived from the word "Esperanto," the constructed international auxiliary language, and the suffix "-nomo," which means "name" or "person." Esperantonomo is not a formal title or role within the Esperanto movement, but rather a descriptive term used to identify individuals who have grown up speaking Esperanto as their first language.

Esperantonomo is often used to distinguish these individuals from those who have learned Esperanto as a second language, known as "lernantoj" or "lernantoj de Esperanto." The term is also used to refer to individuals who have made significant contributions to the development and promotion of Esperanto, such as authors, poets, and linguists.

Esperantonomo is a term that is used with pride and affection by members of the Esperanto community. It is a reminder of the unique cultural and linguistic heritage that is shared by those who speak Esperanto as their native language. The term is also used to highlight the importance of preserving and promoting the language, as well as the need to support the efforts of Esperantonomo in their work to advance the cause of Esperanto.
