Comment on How would we choose a "world language" in a fair way, for a hypothetical one world government?
pleasestopasking@reddthat.com 3 days agoIt’s not really that diverse though. Overwhelmingly, the language of diplomacy and business currently is English.

Only because we’re lazy in the US and still have all the money. Watch as our economy falls and how quickly people will transaction to Chinese, French, German…
Without business English will start to decline. It’s a shit language and we’re kinda asshole to the world about it.

European countries use English, there’s no way French or German stand a chance. For a world language, I think it’s either English or Chinese, depending on geopolitical situation.
