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.
