A Summary of One World, One Language

 

             Hamil, no proposal for a universal language is likely to succeed in the future. Many violent quarrels between nations are often caused by differences in language, so it seems logical to believe that if everyone shared a common language, the world would have fewer misunderstandings, and therefore fewer conflicts; however, developing a universal language is easier said than done. Two ideas for establishing an official language are still being pursued today. One idea is that English should be the official language of the West, and Russian the official achieve Language of the East, the other that an artificial language should be created.
             Many ideas have been proposed over the years to create a universal language, but none have yet to succeed. One idea is to make an existing language the universal language that will be taught in schools all over the world. This would be a more practical approach than introducing a new, unknown language. An idea was proposed that would require every student to learn at least one world language (English, French, Russian, Arabic, or Chinese), one regional language (Spanish, German, Arabic, or Swahili, and the traditional language of their country. Some suggestions have been made to modify the English language to eliminate the unpredictable spelling and grammar rules. Creating an official artificial language with consistent grammar rules was is another proposal being considered. The concept of merging several languages to form one universal language has become more likely due to advances in electronic communications.
             During recent years people's interest in learning foreign language has greatly decreased. Creating a universal language is becoming more and more difficult because virtually every language is growing constantly. Since attaining a common language is essentially impossible, uniformity is being achieved in other areas, such as traffic signs, computer languages, and units of measurement.
