Google Seeks New Forms of Expression, Acquires Esperanto

Hot on the announcement of its own experimental new programming language called Go, Google has announced its acquisition of Esperanto.

Newly-hired spokesperson William Shatner told the assembled news teams that “granda reduktanta la konfuzo uzanta lingvo.”  Now known as “Googlanto,” the artificial language is expected to become a core feature of many upcoming products.   Staffed with a dozen glossopoeia experts, the new Google division plans on releasing additional information about new meta tags and page text standards for the reinvigorated language.

An unnamed spokesperson for Microsoft commented that Google’s move was not that groundbreaking. “We licensed ‘Newspeak’ from the George Orwell estate min the mid 80s; this formed the basis of most tech doc and help text used for Windows.” Rumors have also swirled for for years over Yahoo’s use of Loglan for internal accounting and business planning divisions.

After the press conference, both Shatner and Google executives voiced their continued support for Google’s use of currently mainstream languages such as Klingon and English.
