Transpiranto is a parody language, a caricature of the international auxiliary language Esperanto. The name contains a play on the Swedish verb transpirera, to perspire. The parody language was developed from 1929 by contributors to the publication Grönköpings Veckoblad ('the Greenville Weekly', a Swedish satirical monthly), through a series of comical translations of well-known Scandinavian songs and poems, more than 200 in all. The first two Transpiranto poems were written by Nils Hasselskog.
