People don’t “go back” to languages, most of them die over time and there are very few examples of languages making significant come backs. It’s 99.9 to 0.1 language death to come back.
English isn’t going anywhere in the lifetimes of people alive today. It will definitely look and sound different in 100-200-300 years, but every year more people are learning it as a second language, not fewer.
i agree somehow.
my point is that English as a language will be a mere necessary communication tool instead of a cultural embodiment, people doing biz with foreign countries need to speak in such occasions but they prefer not to in their private lives.
English being dominating the world is definitely the outcome of US/UK imposing western value system to the whole world and more importantly people buy in because they benefit from it. Now it is changing. UK is falling, US is falling. In a sense it goes to a decentralized mode when no single national language dominates instead of AI a neutral thing, which is good.
The reason is because English was the language of business and the rest of the world wanted to do business in a free market.
Not because we forced our culture. Not denying the second part completely of course, but the language part was because folks wanted to do business with us.
i can't disagree your disagree tbh
I hope the world goes decentralized, that is the dream. Because very powerful groups are vying for the opposite.
