I mean, people would obviously propose English to be the world language, but its problematic since that is like telling the world that British Imperialism is somehow “okay”, which is not okay.
So we need another language.
But how could we possibly agree on one?
Do we just find the 100 rarest languages then use one of those?
Do we create a new one?
I think we shouldn’t.
Diversity and language are strengths. We already have enough common languages for diplomacy and business.
It’s not really that diverse though. Overwhelmingly, the language of diplomacy and business currently is English.
Only because we’re lazy in the US and still have all the money. Watch as our economy falls and how quickly people will transaction to Chinese, French, German…
Without business English will start to decline. It’s a shit language and we’re kinda asshole to the world about it.

…what?
Obviously english would be the choice as it has the largest amount of speakers. I know it’s not the most common language spoken natively but there are more people in the world that knows atleast some english compared to languages like chinese or spanish.
