Is it? The same could be said for Americans speaking an European language.
- rusk 8y agoI just mean with Brexit and all ... if the English leave, English will be deprecated as an official language, yet it will still be the lingua franca of European Business. It's just a kind of a funny, and slightly ironic situation I think. EDIT: I think actually it speaks very much to how european unity is about so much more than just the EU. By extension how culture and national identity is about so much more than what the Westphalian paradigm provides.
- Rattled 8y agoIt is ironic, but there are still a couple of member states that rely on English. I think it's unlikely to be deprecated. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_of_Brexit_on_the_European_Union#cite_note-32 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impact_of_Brexit_on_the_Euro...
- Fnoord 8y ago> if the English leave The Brits.
- dkns 8y agoUK leaving EU doesn't mean it's leaving Europe. It still is and will be a huge business partner, travel destination etc. so I seriously doubt English will deprecate as an official language.
- rusk 8y agoIt'll never happen ...
