Answer 2

If your talking about the U.S.A.,

If you go to a foreign country you expect to try and speak their language if you want to get along, around, whatever. Same thing here in the U.S.A. English is the main language. Speak what you want when your at home or among friends or social groups and so on but English is the language of the land.

Did the Germans, the polish, the Irish, the Italians, all expect to come over to the U.S and expect everyone there to speak THEIR language, NO! They where happy to be in this country, they wanted a better way of life and where more than happy to have a single language so everyone could make progress together as a country.

If an self sufficient Scotland gets each and all of the sales from North Sea Oil there remains a shortfall of three billion pounds a year on the price of the national wellness equipment in Scotland. Assuming there extremely are 5 million human beings in Scotland (nicely over a million with addresses extremely stay and artwork in England) if 2 million of those are extremely in paid employment they're going to could desire to conceal the hollow. As you could take excitement in that's impossible. This nonsense is emphasized once you communicate that the Scottish financial equipment is greater centralised than ever the satellite tv for pc countries of the Soviet Union ever have been....this is: maximum working human beings in Scotland are paid via the State: instructors, scientific institution workers, foresters,police, Council workers, even the ferries, trains, buses and farmers obtain extensive subsidies unknown in England. this is all a touch silly workout which like the Edinburgh trams and the Edinburgh Parliament development is costing us all an exceedingly super sum of money greater proper spent on getting down the Scottish debt. lots for the fantastically vaunted Scottish training!

Answer 4

Don't worry your pocito cabeza about it amigo. It won't matter really. Within the next 20 years, (if you believe Al Gore and his "An inconvenient Truth" flick, we will all need to know what the translation for "Help me, I'm drowning!" in Spanish, English and a bunch of other languages, is.
The immigrants of today, especially those from South of the borders, tend to be big breeders. Lots of folks in the family. If we don't stop making people on this planet, what is "unacceptable" will be become intolerable! It will destroy the planet, it's eco structure and all the plants and animals with it (including us!) Not to worry. The cockroaches will do fine however! Ha!

Answer 5

I don't think so, contrary to what certain lazy Hispanics want you to believe.
English is an amazingly flexible language. Since it has two very different grammatical systems merged into it, Germanic and Roman, it has been able to survive some major attempts at getting rid of it. I suspect that's one of the reasons why it is spoken worldwide--because it is so easy to take bits and pieces of other languages and incorporate them into the English language. This doesn't mean that people in four hundred years will speak the same English as we do, but they will be able to understand it as much as we understand the King James' Bible or Shakespeare.

Answer 6

No if the US government makes English the official language. Then we can force people to learn and speak English if they want to survive in the United States.

I shouldn't be forced to learn another language, just so I can communicate with other people living here in the United States!

Answer 7

If so many current english speaking people in america keep being gay and lesbians like i see in tv and real life.. i have a feeling that population will die out,, and the immigrants will keep growing, and yes with no end in sight. If those kids don't learn english, then yes expect the end of American english.

Answer 8

Nope. English is the primary language of this country. Immigrants will quickly learn that in order to rise above low paying jobs they will need to learn English.

Answer 9

Answer 10

I don't know, but I sure hope so. Soon all Americans will need to learn Spanish. Isn't that great. I feel sorry for those Americans who refuse to learn Spanish. They will be the minority. I think it's already happening. Your spelling is terrible!
