At the fast rate it's growing, although I think it would be sad, it could just happen.
After the British Empire took over several regions of the world, English was spoken in these countries and now most of them speak English, with exceptions to Myanmar and Bangladesh, etc. (who was owned by Pakistan).
Major countries like the United States, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom are all major speaking anglophone countries, with also many in the Caribbean too, i.e; Jamaica, Both Virgin Islands, etc. and even in countries where English is not a first language, it is being taught in schools, will parents and government see that English will be the best language for "getting on" in the world and use that instead and drop their own language.
This is a hunch. What do you think? Do you think it's possible?
