On a related not:
Esperanto would probably be better for the international super-language.
It's very easy if you already speak a germanic or romance language.

Maybe so, but it's terrible to learn if you don't already speak a germanic or romance language, like 90% of the human race.  Here's a nice list by a professional linguist (the right-hand links) of all the reasons why Esperanto is a bullshit language, both in structure and context.  And it's entertaining.

Form an european view-point, anyway. By population, we should all learn Chinese (Mandarin).
