Which languages are his name written in? I guess Soros Tivadar is Hungarian, and Teodoro Ŝvarc is Esperanto, and Teodoro Schwartz is German? Anyone who knows care to clarify? User:Gabbe|Gabbe]] 15:49, May 15, 2004 (UTC)
You are right. Soros Tivadar is Hungarian, Teodoro Ŝvarc is Esperanto. Teodoro Schwartz is a bit curious: Schwartz is definitely German, Teodoro, however, is Esperanto (the German form would be Theodor).
Furthermore, Soros is not the translation of Schwartz. In the period before WWI, it was common in Hungary for people with German-, Slavic- etc sounding family names to change it for a similar but more 'Hungarian'-sounding name as a step of declaration of their Hungarian cultural identity. Thus, Kohn would be changed to Kun, Maczák to Magyar etc. TS was probably born as Schwartz and changed his name to Soros.
Esperanto writer? Isn't that like saying Klingon writer?
The main article states that he was a doctor and a lawyer. Did he really earn university degrees in both disciplines? In the Europe, these two fields of study are not usually simply post-graduate programs of 3-4 years. They are the equivalents of combined undergraduate/graduate programs that can last 6-9 years.
