Languages

[tovaris]

what is your opinion on languages gaining and loosing ground? Not that long ago everione who was someone, or just wanted tsucseed spoke French, which stil somehow remains a diplomatic language. Than came English as a „world language” but is now quickly loosing groung round the world. Nowerdays Mandarin is gaining worldwide particuraly on WWW, while in europe Russian has started advancing. German used to be wery widepsread in the teknical world, now it shrunk conoletly.

Its all about the changing times really, some languages are becoming more popular because of them needed in the work force, and some become more withdrawn, I wouldn't expect English to lose to much ground, its still used in many places around the world.

It depends on simplicity and how many people speak it, mandarin isnt going to go to far just for businesses and that too only currently due to the fact that that language is so dcomplex, I think english will still be the dominant language with spanish becomjng even more widespread in the future

Our lang. Should be prospering its based of other language components

This is how the world works, when the Roman empire conquered all these places they introduced latin to it, then when the empire dispersed latin started to be mixed. It will keep happening, however right now the three languages that have good ground are english, spanish, and mandarin. In 1000 years that would probably have changed.
