Execução: Fundatec 466_CE_15_NS_3/5/201817:14:55 Instruction: Answer questions 36 to 40 based on the following text. Klingon to Dothraki: Invented languages gain popularity 01 The idea of invented languages is not new. People have been trying to create new tongues 02 for a long time. One of the most famous examples is Esperanto, created by Ludwik Zamenhof 03 in 1887 which he hoped would become __ globally spoken unifying language. The fact that it 04 is based on 16 very simple rules and took words from languages already present makes it very 05 easy to learn. This was a conscious decision by Zamenhof who hoped that if everyone spoke 06 one language, there would be fewer wars and conflicts. 07 So far, none of the existing constructed languages has achieved a large number of 08 speakers. Klingon, the invented language of Star Trek has around 20-30 speakers. Na’vi, the 09 language created for the movie “Avatar” has one fluent speaker, 10 intermediate speakers, 10 and over forty novices. Dothraki, which was crafted specifically for __ series Game of Thrones, 11 boasts seven intermediate speakers and around a hundred novices. For now, Garadálava has 12 exactly one speaker: Fynn Schlemminger himself. 13 However Esperanto is a notable exception: it’s estimated that the language has around 14 some 1,000 native speakers, and many parents teach it to their children. TV series, movies, 15 books, and especially the Internet have given invented languages a chance like never before. 16 According to the BBC, Esperanto, which was created almost exactly 100 years ago, is currently 17 experiencing a boost, mostly thanks to the language learning app Duolingo, and a highly 18 engaged online community. Wikipedia is also available in this language. 19 With the amount of time and effort it takes to learn a new language, it is rather unlikely 20 that __ invented tongue will achieve world domination in the same way English has. But it is 21 clear that there is rising interest in creating new languages. “Yes, there might be more of them 22 in the future, or more people will try their hand at it,” said Carpenter.
