Honestly your comment sounds troll like.
Languages bring richness and expression. Im going to guess your from an English speaking country and only have english speaking parents.
- _Lemon_ 15y agoSorry, I didn't mean to come off as a troll! The OP originally struck me as a negative comment but reading it again makes me think it was more of just an observation. I wasn't trying to say having one language is a good/bad thing, but everyone having say, a common language, could benefit all as it opens up more possibilities with people. I'm not sure I came off right in the second sentence. I meant as if people only chose English and leaving behind their heritage / culture (as amichail suggested below) that would be bad. Yes, I'm an English only speaker (I believe the majority of the world are bilingual now too), and so are my parents :)
- thefreshteapot 15y agoIm living at persent in Oslo, young and old talk about how english has altered Norwegian. Words have krept in, some phrases are now said in english. I think a common language would accelerate the decline of many languages with small populations. Glad you responded.
