Do you think there should be a world language for everyone? why or why not?

Answer 1

First, let me be very clear about this.
The idea of a common planetary language, especially if it is arbitrarily chosen or worse, would be next to useless. This is assuming by 'Universal language', you mean the sole language.
If however, you refer to an AUXILIARY language, intended to bridge the gap between cultures by providing an easily learnt method of communication then yes. It would open the world up to far more in the way of understanding.
Let's exam the first example where each linguistic group would resent the fact that any other language was forced on them, and NOBODY would agree on ANY language since they would all want their own.
Esperanto is making headway in becoming an AUXILIARY language, yet people reject it out of hand because they all fear the loss of their tongue and a single language spoken by all, which of course is exactly what Esperanto is trying NOT to do.
As a common SECOND language you and you and you have no need to sink years into study of a language that you will most likely NEVER fully assimilate like a native. The choice would be yours. With Esperanto you can be comfortable talking to your neighbour in your native tongue and just as comfortable talking to Ming Lu across the waves on an equal footing in this easily learnt language. It's like a neutral handshake, because each participant invested an equal amount of effort to learn this easy language. (16 gramatical rules... NO exceptions!)
Believe it or not, Esperanto represents the best chance for the survival of the multitude of dying languages since it's purpose is to forestall the monopoly of any one National tongue to the disadvantage of another.
So will it some day become universal (which by the way doesn't mean that EVERYBODY in the world speaks it, just those that want it / need it)?
Well, the $600 million+ USD spent yearly on translation services at the UN (six official languages) and a similar amount in the EU says, sooner or later something is going to change, and this is the cheapest and most effective, proven alternative.
NOBODY has to give up their mother tongue, nor should they.
So, long answer shortened, NO. I wouldn't accept a single language for the world. Esperanto as an auxiliary language however would be wonderful.

I encourage everybody to research and draw their own conclusions.

Ĝis!

Answer 2

Absolutely Not!
Languages are so much fun to learn, and hold the culture of any given society together. If there was one universal language, then I would most definitely think that humans were lazy! JK.

But if someone REALLY wants to travel somewhere, then they should really try to speak the language of said country.

Doesn't anyone feel a sense of accomplishment when they finally master a language?

People really like it when visitors take the time to learn even a few phrases in order to get around.

Answer 3

Then everyone would always be able to travel everywhere.

Right now the 2 world languages are English and French. You can travel pretty much anywhere in the world if you possess both of these languages.

Answer 4

English audio system (and different Anglo-philes in Africa and Asia) think that if the complete global spoke one language (which in keeping with this philosophy ought to be English), there might be extra expertise and no more clash, alternate might be less complicated, and the brand new English audio system might have a lot larger clients. This isn't always the case. Malawi is an excessively deficient nation, wherein close to each person can talk English. Japan is without doubt one of the wealthiest international locations on the earth, wherein only a few men and women talk satisfactory English. Japan's in keeping with capita alternate with the leisure of the sector could also be very top. The study it in tuition, however only a few make a truly good fortune of it. Japanse that paintings in alternate and tourism more often than not do talk English, and that turns out to paintings good for them. There are many different examples. Though Norwegians, Swiss and Dutch all talk well English, it is a effect in their wealth and stage of growth, as a substitute than the opposite direction circular. The ordinary Italian infrequently speaks English, despite the fact that their economic climate has additionally been doing good due to the fact that WWII. Zimbabweans, then again, talk very well English. Sad to mention, however the nation is infrequently a good fortune. Learning English is well, nevertheless it ought to move hand in hand with schooling for it to be mighty. It's a lot larger to place schooling first. In many backward international locations, even early schooling is completed completely in English, as a substitute than the kid's local tongue, because of this that they omit out plenty on in schooling of their early adolescence. Don't get me incorrect, in case your mom tongue isn't English (like in my case) it's the so much priceless overseas language to study, even though it is dependent upon your instances. A Cantonese speaker in China gets extra by way of finding out Mandarin, than English, if he has to select, a Kazach will do good to study Russian first, and a Quecha local in Peru, might get nowhere with out Spanish, even though he speaks English like a prince. So no, every person on the earth does no longer must realise English, however in the event you desire to boost your self the world over, it is a well language to have.
