Poll: One world language?

[Koganesaga]

Hope it's Japanese, it's so fast fluid with a rich back story.

Why didn't you put Spanish as an option?

math is generally accepted as the universal human language..that and music.

im all for communicating in binary symphonies.

Binary Solo!

Ignore Me!!!

 

[wizzerd229]

can't we just communicate by waving our dicks?

 

[Sightless Wisdom]

I hope it's not English, it's a terribly imprecise language really. I'll take French or German over English any day. Not that I speak either of those fluently. I think it may end up being one of the Asian languages like Mandarin just because there are so many people that speak it. Honestly I have no idea.

Binary.

 

[Ampersand]

Of course it would be a good thing. Conflicts would be so much easier to resolve if we all literally spoke the same language.
However the one language will probably not be a modern language. Languages evolve in much the same way that life forms do (except much faster) and the language used centuries(which is probably how long this will take) from now will likely be unrecognisable from what we use now.

I've answer that question 3 times now... just scroll up a bit.

I don't think we'll have any "world language anytime soon. That's my opinion. If in the next few years I don't have to learn a language because they already know English, well, you guys were right. But I doubt that will happen in the next few decades.

 

[ninjajoeman]

one "world language" would be very cool.
i'm german, but english sounds way cooler and isn't hard to learn, so i think english would be a great world language.

really? english sounds cooler than german? and it's easier?
hmm i figured our (U.S.) english had too many colloquialisms and turns-of-phrase to be viable. so many people who immigrate here claim that it is very difficult... guess they're the minority?

was that a pun?

 

[Zeema]

We should learn ELvish yeah that would be cool

 

[Bruin]

Latin.

It's not that hard to learn.

Nearly everybody has latin language roots.

It wouldn't be that big of a transition.

 

[ReaperzXIII]

No one world language I like insulting people in other languages and have them stare at me obliviously

Sign Language

 

[albear]

Chingelish - language of the future, Stephen Fry said so

 

[Romidude]

English is the most widely known language, so it makes sense for it to be the world language. It's not too difficult either, so that's okay.

Actually, French is. I've been to Middle Eastern countries where it's their second language. And it's just a proven fact.

 

[clockout]

English mother fucker, do you speak it?

I'll go with english

 

[binvjoh]

English, no doubt. I'm Swedish myself, but I much prefer it over my native language.

 

[moshineko]

American Sign Language. I can talk to people on the other side of a window without killing my throat, and the sign for fuck looks like two little people humping. If that's not a kick-ass language, I don't know what is.
