Might be a hard sell to convince the EU to switch to English as the English are leaving.
- oh_sigh 8y agoEven without the UK, English is probably the language most commonly spoken among EU member states.
- ryanmarsh 8y agoStill, English is probably an easier pill to swallow than the French having to speak German.
- ihaveajob 8y agoAs long as the Irish stay, there's a solid case.

You're not adopting a language of one of the 4 major members, you're adopting the first language of a small member on the periphery (Ireland) that happens to be a second language of so many Europeans that no other European language comes close.
- solarkraft 8y agoI think the political status of England should be decoupled from english, the language. The US have adopted it (while being on hostile grounds with the UK), so why can't we?
