Esperanto II

The correlative series tiu, ĉiu becomes ta, cha when modifying a noun.

Many small grammatical words are also replaced, such as ey for kaj "and", be for ĉe "at", and ki for ol "than".

Additionally, the project introduced international cognates when such cognates were readily recognized; for example, skolo was used for "school" in place of standard Esperanto's lernejo (a derivation of lerni, "to learn"); Esperanto has skolo only in the sense of "a school of thought", which is also the meaning that the word has in the example passage below.

The orthography and phonology were changed to eliminate diacritics and a few of the more marginal sounds: ⟨j⟩ becomes ⟨y⟩, ⟨ĵ⟩ and ⟨ĝ⟩ conflate to ⟨j⟩, ⟨ŭ⟩ becomes ⟨w⟩, ⟨ĉ⟩ becomes ⟨ch⟩, ⟨ŝ⟩ becomes ⟨sh⟩, ⟨kv⟩ becomes ⟨qu⟩, ⟨kz⟩ and ⟨ks⟩ become ⟨x⟩, ⟨ej⟩ becomes ⟨e⟩.

Changes from standard Esperanto that involve more than orthography are highlighted in this sample passage and explained below.
