Esperanto has been in continuous use since its creation (its was NOT a naturally occuring language but is manufactured), even though it is not recognised as an official language by any country currently. According to Ethnologue, Esperanto is spoken by an estimated 2 million people as a second language in 115 countries, most of them in Central and Eastern Europe, East Asia, and South America.
