The world is made of MUCH MORE Malay, Thai, Vietnamese and Japanese
than Esperanto. Get over yourself, Dmitri. These 4 languages have
together more than 400 million speakers. Much better than that 1--5
million for Esperanto.

OK. But before you've done so, please consider shutting up.

I'm waiting for your answer to the question: "In which of these areas
is Esperanto simpler/easier than Malay, Vietnamese, Thai, Japanese?"
Please don't try to give responses that try to divert our focus. That
won't work. If you do it, I'll repeat my question.

I know that's an embarassing question for you. But if you want to be
embarassed again by trying to shift the focus away, I'll keep on
embarassing you.

So, now, either tell me:

        In which of these areas (the tense and case systems) is
        Esperanto simpler/easier than Malay, Vietnamese, Thai,
        Japanese?"

or shut up on this subthread.
