Esperanto
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
Esperanto was created at least 100 years ago by a Jewish communist in an ambitious attempt to make a new international language, while improving on the superficial flaws of previous ones, like French and Latin. Now ignored by almost everyone except nerds and foreigners who are too stupid to learn English.
A pidgin language, combining aspects of AOL speak, Leet, and Klingon. It was created as a nationalist language for Easter Island, due to the fact that the previous dialect, Easteringer, was absorbed into the sand after a terrible monsoon, resulting in the formation of several hundred gigantic stone Voraphile cockmen.
Malkompleta lingvo, kombinigata AOL paroli, Leet, kaj Klingon. G^in estis kreig^i por naciisma lingva por Easter Insulo, c^ar lau' la fakto la antau'a dialekto, Easteringeron, absorbig^is en la sablo post kiam terura musono, rezultatis en la formig^o de pluraj cent grandegaj stonaj Vorafilaj nigroj.
Currently the language is only spoken on the tiny island nation of Esperanta, which was ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. This diminished the nation's supply of nutmeg; unfortunately, noone gave a good goddamn.
Much like using Linux or writing Star Trek fanfic, learning Esperanto will get you beaucoups de laid by Aspie nerds. However, you don't want that.
FACT: William Shatner starred in the only feature film ever performed entirely in Esperanto. But, just when you thought your give-a-fuck-o-meter had bottomed out, it turns out Blade: Trinity has Esperanto in it too. Truly an undead language.
