According to independent sources (as ethnologue.com), the number of
native speakers of Esperanto is about 200 to 2000. I presume, the
number is underestimated: there are at least four "denaskuloj" (native
speakers of Esperanto) only among my close friends.

Thank you all for mentioning Ossetian! :) At the moment we use
MediaWiki at http://vicerveza.homeunix.net/osetio/ to collect
community, to ellaborate better terms for technical things and just to
practice before getting to real work.

Sincerely,
Slavik Ivanov,
Russia
