No, no, this is interesting. Now I'm actually curious. I don't know enough about how Esperanto works--aside from knowing it's supposed to be an ideal language--to have any rational idea.
The idea behind an auxiliary language is that everybody would only need to learn two languages: their native language and the auxiliary language. You'd talk to people in your own community in your native language and use the auxiliary to talk to foreigners. This helps to preserve language diversity while enabling international communication. To facilitate this, a good auxiliary language needs to be easy to learn and flexible enough to express a wide array of concepts. Esperanto is the most popular auxiliary language.
As it turns out, the Esperanto Wikipedia does have an article on the calendar. However, the day names are presented in French, so there is still no definitive answer to this particular question lmao
i hadn't realized it was supposed to be auxiliary. Interesting.
As it stands, English ends up being one of the most widely used second languages, which is nuts because English is a fuckin' nightmare to learn.
