Thread: World Language

if we speak one whole language then i wouldnt be understanding of what you all saying or talking about, i have native tongue

... i rather like that we all have different languages... i think that's what makes other cultures so interesting, it's that you don't understand what they're saying or why or what they are talking about...

it makes you want to learn about them and how to understand them...

you feel like more of a group... a group with it's own identity, language, customs, dress... everything is different...

it makes the world... unique... like Soshi said... nature can make beautiful music just by going on with their business... humans have to MAKE music seperatly from their daily thing... if we all have a different language, we all have our own song... our own little melody... something that seperates us yet binds us together all the same way...

and there was the tower of Babel (FYI, the Tower of Babel was something humans tried to make a LOOOONNG time ago when we all lived together and spoke the same language... we tried to build a tower to reach God becuz we thought we could be like God... or God... whichever, so God confused the languages to prevent us from doing something like that again... becuz we're stupid enough when we can't understand each other, imagine if we all got stupid together... ::shudders:

Well the lenguage is a way of communication that has been evolving for many thousands of years. Homo sapiens were the first human creatures to develop a lenguage.

Why would one language bring us closer? You can't abandon the heritage that has been inherited through thousand generations?

Nice thread......and good point.

Not an entirely bad idea, is it? If theres only one language, the terrorists cant sneak their evil plans so easily XD

But at the same time, what would happen to the other languages?
Some carry very significant importance to their country, and languages are the core being of our various different cultures........and what would the other countries think about it?

And what about the challenges of going to another country, the thrill of learning all about their "alien" language?

And how would we decide which language is best fit to be the global tongue?

There are many things to consider before changing the whole world's way of life......

English is internatinal(ish) language but I don't think everyone should speak the same cos of your culture (very important IMO) also speaking the same thing does a get boring

i think we should learn english as a universal languge because its more versatle than the other langauges and easier to learn. my native language has the same stucture as english so i can mix the languages together.
