Will the entire world ever speak one language?

Though it "might" solve some problems we have as humans... I don't think I ever want to see different languages die out. It's losing part of your culture and I really value culture.

It's called math.

no. it's called diversity. and culture. language defines culture.

So you're saying American, Canadian, British, Irish, Scottish, Australian, South Africans, are all the same culture?

Yes, you're right. All except for South Africa were British colonies to begin with. I believe South Africans speak Dutch or "Afrikaans" (their variation of Dutch). Maybe they speak English as well. Anyone know?

Also, guapo337, language doesn't necessarily define your culture. Look at the differences between Americans, Australians and British, for example.

Hey teh nu videocard r0xorz my b0xorz. Get it or yuo is the $ucK.

 

[Supermercado]

No they don't. Believe me, it's tough to learn twenty-six ways to insult people in other countries.

The people of the future world, if extrapolated from the current trend, will speak the S"Elfish" tongue
