Summary/Abstract: Esperanto and Modern Hebrew have quite opposite origins and purposes: the former is a constructed language and the latter is reconstructed. Constructed languages are a mere linguistic exercise that can become a tool of uniformity when combined with ideology. On the other hand reconstructed languages such as Hebrew offer hope that other such instances can be brought back to life and that wrongs that made them extinct can be undone. Language nests have proven to be a successful method in language revival policies.
