English will be the main language of humanity for thousands of years. Chinese scientists publish in English.

i don't know about thousands, but for sure, i was just fucking around with my comment lol
I think people will read the English literature of the 1900s forever. And I see English is gaining adoption.
I assume eventually, there will be a spelling and alphabet reform
Like why does βspellingβ have two Ls instead of more clearly representing the sounds by marking the E as a short vowel? In the Shavian alphabet, it would be βπππ§π€π¦π", two less letters and completely clear in pronunciation for foreign learners.
I don't know about thousands. English will evolve over time.
I think it will adapt to be more analytical, simplified, and mark my words, English will use kanji in the next 500 years.
I donβt think they will use kanji specifically.
I do agree simplification is inevitable. But what you are sensing is the constructed language that will replace natural language. It will use words and symbols derived from English, Latin, Mandarin, Arabic, and others. Probably some tyrant empire in the future will enforce it
