Im curious why you think that. Is there a good contender now for a constructed language that might catch on in the future?
I just think language is too deeply tied to culture for people to learn a language other than their native one, regardless of how efficient the constructed language is.
Yeah language almost IS the culture.. the very way in which a people think, and it reflects the traditions and values and history of the people. It is possible for that to change but that would be in a world where we can travel around the world quickly whenever we want for very little cost, and in a great enough number to force disparate people together so as to make them adopt a common language out of need, and it would be a pidgin language that develops organically. An adoption of a constructed language seems like a stretch. Though I get the comparison to bitcoin.. language being a tool to bridge gaps and meet a common need.
Besides, we already have a free market of languages which is why they evolve and die. Just because a language is official in a country doesn't men anything (Spanish in the US)
I believe I am building what could be a contender if completed. It is a lot of work, so it may take decades, or I may find a hole in my plan and have to abandon it.
If it works as intended, the language I am building will change everything about how we interact with each other and machines.
Word roots are derived from latin, hebrew, arabic, english, and modern spanish, and they are also constructed from these roots. It should sound very exotic when spoken.
It is intended to be executable if you use a specific vocabulary. The end result is a programming language where logic is perfectly speakable in human language.
It may not replace English, Spanish, and Chinese; but it may become a very popular programming language that has the potential to become a spoken language. Or it could just be a fun little project for me that helps me really learn CS.
Lots of people make programming languages for fun. Lots of people make spoken languages for fun. Why not combine the two lol
Remember that modern Hebrew had to be reintegrated the same way a constructed language would be.
