The difference is that there are roughly 20.000 Klingon speakers (thinking positive) but over 15 million Esperanto speakers.

But Esperanto was created over 120 years ago, while Klingon was just 20 years ago. So I hope that maybe the number of Klingon speakers might grow, one day. How many Esperanto speakers were there 20 years after it was created?
The only disadvantage that we have is the lack of vocabulary.
