Entirely false.  Esperanto speakers are numbered in the millions, including
hundreds, perhaps thousands, who speak it natively.  It is a complete
human language with a vocabulary capable of discussing anything, and a
literature including both prose and poetry.  Fluent Klingon speakers
probably do not exceed 100, and there is only one native speaker,
who no longer speaks it; the vocabulary is quite limited, as is the
literature.
