A language to rule them all
The English language has not become universal
language because it has the largest number of native speakers (Chinese and the
Spanish have more) but because it has the largest number of non-native
speakers.
China, for example, has the population of
speakers of English as a second language in the world. In Korea, parents
even practice a small surgery under the tongue to their children so that they
can more smoothly to pronounce phonemes resulting them more complicated to
articulate Asian.
The prevalence of English over other
languages is indisputable. The Spanish has absorbed hundreds of English
words. Moreover, many syntactic structures are altered by the presence of
English in our language: the famous "based on" as Anglicism or
incorrect uses of gerunds, as Anglicism’s adjectival gerunds and posterity.
Obviously, the existence of a lingual francs is not something necessarily negative. Some can
ensure that it unites us, since we would all be able to understand us through a
universal language. In addition, English is located within the languages
easier to learn: gender variation an adjective possessive in the majority of
cases, the mark few tenses (especially compared with the Spanish), etc.
However, there's much more to say on the
matter. For starters, this fanaticism for the English leads to that other
languages are marginalized and becoming extinct. Consider the amount of
Aboriginal languages disappearing every day. And, with them, their culture
also disappears. And this idea is precisely what gives rise to the
so-called "linguistic imperialism": languages represent not only a
way of communicating, also transmit a culture.
For these reasons, we must think about
having a universal language. We must think about that I talk about how we
think, and to communicate, communicate all a wealth of culture.
From Trusted Translations, we advocate that all languages are protected. There may be lingual francs, a universal language, but also there must be a place for all the others.
