Zamenhof (L. L. Zamenhof)

L. L. Zamenhof was a Polish ophthalmologist and linguist best known for creating Esperanto, an international auxiliary language developed in the late 19th century. His goal was to foster international understanding and peace by providing a neutral, easy-to-learn language that people worldwide could use for communication. Zamenhof's work combined linguistic innovation with humanitarian ideals, and Esperanto gained a global community of speakers. His efforts reflect a vision of cultural unity through language, making him a significant figure in the history of constructed languages and global communication.
