English -Universal language of the future.
Man english is boring... I say we make up a new language and use that one. Or at least use one of the romantic languages, French, Italian, Spanish etc. Personally I always liked the sound of Chinese...

some may say, that it is necessary to know different
languages so that one can communicate with different
kinds of people...PEOPLE are always the centre of activity ....which is true...( a practical approach)...which will continue for " n" of years...
But iam talking about is CHANGING the system ( meaning
having an international understanding to MAKE
English a compulsory language in all schools in the world).
Which will change the course of things .
Just imagine if people( whatever nationality or background ) could communicate easier with any person in the world...
There are so many BENEFITS in knowing a COMMON GLOBAL language
eg say a peace keeping force is required...and many countries sent their forces.....if each force representing
a different country...cannot communicate ...they will
not be able to function as a TEAM...
say a French peacekeeping force trying to blend with
a Russian peacekeeping force...
etc etc.
the question is should people do "something" just
because for years all people did it....without
challenging the norms...( or USEfulness)...
eg in the old days,the ancient doctors used to bleed
people in order to cure them....now in this mordern era, this blind/ignorant practice has been stopped .
Similarly...everybody may be following "something"
which may be wrong or not useful to the progress of
mankind...Just because everyone follows it...and
you may be the odd onewho does not follow it .....
So coming back to the question "why people have
to learn different languages when it is easier
for different kinds of people to Know ONE COMMON LANGUAGE" after all the objective of knowing a language is just to communicate Knowledge .....
Languages do not Add to the body of knowledge....

Why people around the world don't
learn a common language which everyone understands.
Learning a language does not require any extra ordinary skills ,just a mere practice session to learn the basic words and sentences formations and memory.
Many times people deliberately speak in a different language,just to show off that they can speak in a different language.
What is the LOGIC in speaking the SAME thing in hundreds of different languages?
Eg How do you do ? …expressed in hundreds of different languages means the SAME THING ,the knowledge of languages does not ADD to the body of knowledge…
Secondly different languages SLOWs the progress of mankind.
Eg Consider the following story in history -when people were building the Tower of Babel, all used to speak the same language and thus work progress quickly….
Then suddenly the moment when each worker started speaking in different languages….the end result was the
TOWER could not be completed at the same rate….
because lack of clarity in communication.
Clarity of communication is important in all walks
of life.Because if a wrong signal is sent,the result
will be different.
ENGLISH should be made compulsory and a universal language….and the first language…
What happens is people know little of different languages and then mix all and create mix version.
But knowing a language is complex has many words and knowing just a few....affects expression of events
,knowlege etc...
Eg one may know a regional language and little of English….But that little English is not sufficient
To express ….a CLEAR terms.
As Research progresses Knowing ONE COMMON UNIVERSAL STANDARDISED LANGUAGE properly is necessary…rather than knowing many languages in bits and pieces… and combinations.
Other wise in the next few years the body of knowledge will not be expressed properly.For knowledge to be expressed there has to be consistency.
Body of knowledge somewhere ...
Part of it is in English
Another part in Spanish.
Another part in French
Another part in Japanese
Another part in Chinese..
Another part in Russian.
as a result the complete picture of the body of knowledge
is lost...
There are other universal languages like music and emotions and soul language..etc..
Some say translation solves the problem...but
there is some thing lost....the original thought...
there is personal subjectivity etc etc
Meaning the original knowledge in its original expression form is lost..
CONCLUSION -to simplify the PROCESS
of clarity of COMMUNICATION ...expression of ideas
and thoughts.
It makes more sense for ALL PEOPLE in the world to LEARN one COMMON language
Than for all people to learn different languages…( catching
the ear from behind)
Also a common language will bring UNITY...as
knowledge of different languages brings division and
fragmentation ,becoz ...each region/country thinks their regional/country language is more important than others.
so once people start speaking in a common language,
the world will progress at a faster pace with greater
understanding.
===================================
Concept of Common areas
Consider internet
eg if A is in Location A..at A location time
if B is in location B..at B location time
yet both A and B COMMUNICATE at a common area..(
information highway)...because the CARRIERS of
information.....satellites,electronics,atoms are moving fast
..faster than speed of light...
Similarly...every event creates information waves ( sound waves picked by a bird which is turn is picked by the wind,which in turn is picked by the dolphins etc...the carriers of the information waves ...take the waves to the caller of the information from the body of
knowledge
