no not like english cuz amaricans buchered it to much for world use and not any language that is know right now but one that is agreed on by all and made by all it is taught from kindergarten to all world colleges and use to make intrnatonial communication this would take years i know but think of the problems it would solve going to the store in china and buying fruit and then going to europe and geting pizza and then to califania to work there with out learning 2 to even 8 languages to get a job?

i am amarican i see the greatness of this idea we can all still learn and use are own language with each other but it would save time money and miss communications and miss understandings on al level that i cant even comprehend but also let the person you truely hate know what you are calling him lol

this espronto is a english spanish french tir brid or 3 originals made into one for fun the language is for more urben style and is only used in face to face talking not transactions like internatonla affairs such as ceace fires and peace talks

Answer 1

No.

1. It makes people Lazy, we lowered the intelligence level from what it was in the 1700 & 1800s to what is is now, we still have bums and gangsters. 2. It is insuling, many countrys forefathers came up with their language, they won't let it go. 3. People won't let it go, our children's children will only count it as just anohter to add to the list. Think of the dead language, Latin, it is still taught and not just for people who are archeologist. 4. If we did, think of all of the teachers who would be out of a job, I mean how hard is a language that it takes half (or a quarter) of a persons life to learn.

Answer 2

It's been tried before. The most popular universal language is Esperanto, but there are others. Esperanto never really caught on mostly because English has become the default international language, although there are people all over the world who speak it.

Probably the biggest problem with any created language aside from the competiton from English is the lack of a literature. Language is more than just a way to communicate with people, it's all about culture as well. English speaking people use language from sources like the King James Bible and Shakespere all the time even if they don't know it, to express themsleves. For example "the blind leading the blind" comes from the KJV and "elbow room" is from King John.

Every other language is the same as well. If you are a student in say China do you want to learn English and be able to read millions of books, or learn Esperanto and be able to read about 25,000 books?

Answer 3

For a more computer-oriented approach to the problem, take a look at Universal Networking Language (UNL). The language is designed to be a universal language that can be translated into the reader's preferred language. The idea is that you indirectly create UNL documents by working in your preferred language, and having the computer automatically translate into and out of UNL. Once you've got a UNL document, there's no ambiguity and it can be read by a speaker of any language.

A couple of years back, this was in the press quite a bit. But judging by their website, there's still active work on it.

It could argued that there are a whole lot of philosophical and technical problems with the approach, but I personally feel that it is a nice idea to think about.

Answer 4

Language is part of a country's cultural background. Each language has unique idioms and phrases. There are English words that can't be translated accurately into other languages. Even English has a variety of forms and pronunciations.
Every nation should be able to keep its customs, its uses and its oral/written expressions. (Imagine, I can't get used to write color without the U and English is not even my mother tongue).
Language is, not only an element of a nation, but also something that builds ties between a person and his/hers origins.

Answer 5

I think its a good idea but an impossible one. Every country in the world? I don't think so. But who knows.. Maybe a couple of countries ( 3 to 9) at the most. It would be fun to have an international language where everyone understood each other.

Answer 6

Nobel idea.

John Lennon was not successful in delivering his ideas through the song "Imagine". It does not mean your idea would not come true. Every idea needs a person to champion it. Perhaps you are the one?

Actually, I have heard about a project to develope "Earth Language" many years ago. Same idea as yours. maybe you can look up this organization and sign in as a volunteer?

Answer 7

i kind of agree! it's so hard learning all these languages. on the other hand, that's just the laziness talking i guess. linguists are pretty impressive cuz they can do like 5 languages fluently and then understand like 70 others.

Answer 8

The problem with that is that no one wants it to be not like their own language(like it would have to be like every language, which is hard). Its been tried before. Look up Esperanto on wikipedia

Answer 9

No we need different languages one language would be too hard for everyone to learn what about the poor places africe etc where they have no schools to teach them

Answer 10

Angloish ain't yo friend, friend!

Your first language is throwing you for a loop!
