Though Esperanto itself has changed little since the publication of {{lang|eo|[[Fundamento de Esperanto]]}} (''Foundation of Esperanto''),<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Blanke |first=Detlev |date=2009-01-01 |title=Causes of the relative success of Esperanto |url=https://www.jbe-platform.com/content/journals/10.1075/lplp.33.3.04bla |journal=Language Problems and Language Planning |language=en |volume=33 |issue=3 |pages=251–266 |doi=10.1075/lplp.33.3.04bla |issn=0272-2690|url-access=subscription }}</ref> a number of reform projects have been proposed over the years, starting with [[Reformed Esperanto|Zamenhof's proposals in 1894]] and [[Ido (language)|Ido]] in 1907. Several later constructed languages, such as [[Universal (Esperantido)|Universal]], [[Esperantido#Saussure|Saussure]], [[Romániço]], [[Esperantido#Comparison of Esperanto, Internasia, Ido, Esperant', and Arcaicam Esperantom|Internasia]], [[Esperantido#Esperanto sen Fleksio|Esperanto sen Fleksio]], and Mundolingvo, were all based on Esperanto.

In modern times, conscious attempts have been made to eliminate perceived sexism in the language, such as [[Riism]]. Many words with {{lang|eo|ĥ}} now have alternative spellings with {{lang|eo|k}} and occasionally {{lang|eo|h}}, so that {{lang|eo|arĥitekto}} may also be spelled {{lang|eo|arkitekto}}; see [[Esperanto phonology#Loss of phonemic ĥ|Esperanto phonology]] for further details of {{lang|eo|ĥ}} replacement. Reforms aimed at altering country names have also resulted in a number of different options, either due to disputes over suffixes or Eurocentrism in naming various countries.{{Citation needed|date=October 2020}}
