This research diachronically analyzes the constituent word order of Esperanto via linguistic corpus analysis and statistical significance tests. Although Esperanto was created as an auxiliary language to be the world's lingua franca and to provide an alternative to deviant and arbitrary natural languages, it has linguistically naturalized via its preferred word order. Over time and since its inception and first writings, Esperanto has slowly developed a predictable and significant preference for subject- verb-object or SVO word order. The implications from the findings of this research are also predictable. Although omission of -n is not present across the classic and modern formal Esperanto literature studied, if the accusative morphological marker -n is being omitted over time in spoken Esperanto, much as WHOM is being replaced by WHO in contemporary English, the bias toward SVO is to be expected. Keywords: Esperanto, SVO, Accusative, Lingua Franca.
