English Won T Dominate As World Language

I'd always recommend learning a secord or third language.
As far as I see it, English is the major language in: the UK, America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Other countries who speak English as a second language include the Scandanavians, Holland and others. None of them involve Chinese, and if I were to learn an new learn -- It'd probably be Dutch.
The article takes a popular stance, though: "Its happening in America, that means the world, too".

A multi-lingual population is already the case in much of the world and is becoming more common in the United States. Indeed, the Census Bureau reported last year that nearly one American in five speaks a language other than English at home, with Spanish leading, and Chinese growing fast.

Spanish not being used in England (I've NEVER seen a Spaniard moved over here) and Chinese people often here just for university and such.
The next world language will be... Esperanto!!!
I have more hasty, ill thought out, sweeping statements too. Just like this fool. What dialect of Chinese? There`s like 10 or more of them...
Wo hui shuo zhong wen!!
Mi espaniol es no bueno.
Chinese won't dominate the world it'll just dominate China
china isn't the world because there's billions living there in population count
Yeh, isn't China the country where they put a law down to limit families to only 1 kid, anymore and you pay?
thnom you've never seen a spaniard move to the UK? My word, do you leave the house?
i live in Texas and we were just declared the 4th state to have a minority majority, better get on the spanish bus if you live here.
meh doesn't bother me much. I plan on learning japanese. I'd like to learn german, french, italian and such. at least the basics so when I go on my ever s long planned trip to tour europe I can communicate decently.
I'd like to learn Spanish since I spend time in Mexico every year.
These statistics don't take into account that only approximatly 200 million chinese live in the industrialized south east, the rest is pretty much completely unimportant.
It just doesn't matter if there are 1 billion farmers (and as sad as it is also what you could call modern 'work-slaves') somewhere in central China, because you will never get into any buisness (or other kind of) relation with them anyways.
Still those 200 million are a strong reason to learn Chinese
(the same is btw even more true for those indish languages)
I will learn Spanish. Maybe even German. But I WILL NOT learn Chinese!
...er, Cantonese. Whatever.
We speak 3 languages at home...My wife and I speak English, I speak Dutch to our kids and my wife speaks French to them. It can get a bit messy at the dinner table since we don't have a family language. So far the kids aren't confused and pick it up very fast.
I must learn French though because my kids are starting to speak it better than I do
As long as there are numbers on the menu's I won't learn Chinese
i speak 5 languages and had to do the localizations for Pariah* in 3 of those, think i'm good for whatever comes.
*Pariah wasn't done by us, just helped wrap it up at the end, and do all the translations
i refuse to learn a language which doesn't use an alphabet like english. so, there goes anything other than spanish, portugese, italian and french and german. and i'm terrible at the last 2.
english is already the dominant world language. it's spoken as first language in the UK, Ireland, Canada, USA, Australia, NZ, and large parts of the caribbean as well as a second language in about 1/3 of africa, the indian sub-continent and elsewhere. it's already become the dominant language of the net and is the language of air travel.
english is also singapore's dominant language. Though it is hard to pick up singlish if you aren't already used to the far east accents.

I found the article slightly hard to believe in that english will stop being the world's dominant language. None of the facts they showed really pointed toward that. If anything it just seems as though many people are becoming bilingual by learning English in addition to their native language. Wouldnt that contribute to English dominance? Its true that as China develops and greater numbers of Chinese spread across the world, their language could become a standard in many areas, but as of now the trend is still for Chinese to learn foreign languages rather than for us to learn Chinese. my rant stopped making sense a while ago so i'll stop here...
Id just learn another language to pick up hot Asain chicks
Majority of counteries across the world learn English as a second language. It's really more dominant because the English-Speaking world makes up the bulk of the worlds economy.
As such nations have to learn English to be able to compete in the world. Why? Because the English-Speaking nations are crap at (or rather most are unwilling) learning other languages.
I personally speak a nice wide selection, but I can only read/write a few. (even then it's not exactly that well)
Think is though even when I'm abroad most of the time when someone picks up I speak English they will also speak it. So you don't generally need to speak the native language unless you come across someone who doesn't understand English.
At the end of the day, I've had very little in the way of language barriers when visiting my cousin in Japan, or friends in Russia, etc. Most of the time I'm able to just speak English without worrying about my poor variations of thier native language.
As most of the world actually panders to our lazy nature, it's likely that English is going to continue to be the language of choice for some time.
I've also noticed that quite a number of other nations will learn English rather than another native language.
So it's used quite a bit as an intermediate language.
God knows why. It's a horribly inaccurate language, far too open to mis-understanding.
that's kinda the nature of language in general--approximation. english is a real mutt, to be sure, but every language has its strengths and weaknesses, nice bits and ugly bits. if there is any huge dominant shift in language, it's not like it's going to happen overnight. we'll have time to listen to the "how-to-learn" audio tapes
Had a long post in mind but I'll save all of us a bit of time.
No it wont.
i can swear in mandarin does that count
i can also swear in russian, spanish, german, a little in hebrew.
thats all that really matters

Why is English considered an international language?
Of course, English, just like as any other language is not eternal. But the question was to know wich language if any could replace him as a worldwide lingua franca .
A great deal of languages in History had had that status, albeit at a smaller scale : Koine Greek from the Empire of Alexander the Great until the fall of Byzantium Eastern Europe and Asia Minor, Latin in the Roman Empire (and then only Western Roman Empire), French , Spanish , Hindutani ( Hindi - Urdu ), Portuguese , Russian , Arabic , Chinese , Swahili and so on.
The main difference with English now is that its spread is global and its importance is proportional to that of business and trade which are conducted now at an unprecedented scale. However, the language itself is already more of an English-based vehicular language, (that is so
I will have my take at this question: I mostly use English as work language. I seldom work with people who are English mother tongue, but I often work with mixed teams that include Italians, Russians, Nigerians, Dutch, Danes, Germans, French, Chinese (Singaporeans), Indians, only occasionally British and North Americans.
What language should we speak to communicate among mixed teams like this? English is the answer. It could have been anything else: French, Italian, Chinese… but it’s always English without even asking.
Sometimes, I take part to international conferences. I was at a conference in Astana Kazakhstan recently. The Kazakh organization gave up the nationalistic idea of adopting their own National Language as the official language of the conference and chose instead to adopt Russia
No, not all languages, but some languages definitely have been evolving to be more like English. It is inevitable that when a lot of people in a country are bilingual, the two languages will evolve to be more similar to one another. It is not just words that are borrowed, but sounds and grammatical structures. For example, take the English structure “I don’t know if it’s true”. Where does that “if” come from? It wasn’t in Latin and it isn’t in German. It seems to have started in late Latin, and then spread to French, and so to English, and now you can even hear similar phrases in African languages such as Chichewa.
In books written in Chichewa 80 years ago you can’t find any sentences such as “I have been doing it for a long time”; instead you find “I began to do it long ago”. But these day
As most people have said, English will be very different in a thousand years time. In fact, it will probably be completely incomprehensible to contemporary speakers today.
Cædmon’s Hymn is the oldest written piece of Old English, and it was written about 1,500 years ago in 650 AD:
‘nu scylun hergan hefaenricaes uard metudæs maecti end his modgidanc uerc uuldurfadur swe he uundra gihwaes eci dryctin or astelidæ he aerist scop aelda barnum heben til hrofe haleg scepen. tha middungeard moncynnæs uard eci dryctin æfter tiadæ firum foldu frea allmectig’
Upon first inspection it is completely alien to modern speakers. After reading it through a few times you might be able to work out bits and bobs of it (e.g. heben ‘Heaven’, allmectig ‘Almighty’), especially if you
The answer is, primarily due to England's far-flung and enduring empire, now faded, which included control over some of the world's biggest populations.
English influence affected perhaps half of the earth's peoples over time, including India, Asia, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East, Australia, Antarctica, and island nations in every sea.
In the early 20th century, the UK had dominion over 1/5 of the world's population, the most ever at one time. The British Empire was the largest the world has ever known.
In addition to the people under direct British control, anyone wanting to conduct business with the Empire had to learn to speak English as well. That affected more people than just the size of the actual empire could account for.
Additionally, in the Post-Colonial period, the United S
Americans might tend to inflate the influence of the United States in the history of the spread of English. Before the World Wars, particularly WWII, the US was a bit player on the world stage. The folks with the big international footprint were England, France, Spain, and Portugal.
Look around the world and you can see the linguistic legacy of the colonial era stamped all over the globe. India, Australia, Kenya, and Guyana were all under England's kind protection, and English is the primary or secondary language in all of them. France made its biggest play in West Africa, and you'd better know French if you want to get around in that part of the world without knowing a local language like Wolof or Pulaar. Spain conquered most of the Americas south of the present-day US, so your best langu
Yes . All you need is economic decline and US losing its economic and violence hegemony. Within EU, it is already happening.
With Brexit, English will cease being one of the official languages in EU. Either German or French will replace it as the hegemonic language, and I speak both. The only Anglophone nation in EU remaining will be Ireland, whose population basis and economical significance are not remarkable enough to heave it as the official language.
China has already eclipsed US as the dominant economy in the world, India is a rising might, and the Schwerpunkt of the world economy is shifting gradually to the other side of the Pacific. NATO has proved more or less a paper tiger (with nuclear teeth, of course) and US is becoming more and more isolationist all the time.
“Spanish is useless outside of the Americas”
Well, Spanish is spoken as mother tongue or as second language in the European Union by 15% of the population (some 75 million people).
The English language doesn’t dominate the world, it’s simply quite popular because it’s quite widespread. It’s certainly not the most spoken language. Mandarin Chinese has that honour. Quite frankly, I think I’m lucky that it happens to be my language which is popular, however if nobody else around the world spoke it, then it wouldn’t matter one bit. I’d just have to learn whatever language was out there, but I’d probably continue to speak my own language at home with my family, friends and fellow countrymen/women - just as many people around the world do, with their own native languages. Even here in the UK there are still people who speak native languages which are not English, and there are dialects of English spoken here which are not exactly internationally known.
I’m going to answer this question a little differently. I’ve developed a kind of a different world view based on my living and working all over the world. It’s different in the sense of where I see the world heading; I don’t know if it will happen in ten years, 20 years, 50 years or ever , for that matter.
I think borders between countries, as we know them, will disappear somewhat. Not completely, but between countries of like interests. I think, because of the Brexit situation going on now, that European alliances and interests will shift somewhat over the years. Coupled with countries merging with others - either by force or for convenience, the 197 countries we have today could be as low as 125 in 50–75 years. Again, just my judgement.
So, to answer your question, I believe languages will
No , as long as the US has its status of being a global technological superpower I don't see any other language replacing English as the worldwide lingua franca. In this digital era it's just impossible for any other language to take that position given as most of the innovation happens in the US. The UK, India, Australia and Canada are also contributing heavily towards this cause.
Even if China ever surpasses US, Mandarin can't and won't replace English because it's difficult to read and write.
Spanish and French are written in the Latin script and have significant number of speakers in a multitude of countries. However for Spanish to attain that status, substantial innovation has to come from Mexico and South America which sounds a little too far-fetched at this moment. French is rapidly be
