There are 10 types of people in the world.
Those who understand binary, and those who don't.
And those who understand that this joke works in any base.
...and those who didn't expect a ternary joke!
That's only 2 types of people, IDIOT!
Well we know which type you are. ๐คญ
Funny but English as a Lingua Franca is a thing. English has become a widely understood international language so its not just used to talk to native English speakers but also as a common language between non-native speakers.
English as a Lingua Franca
I bet frenchies are so salty about it
Italians (Latin) and Greeks were salty before them. And the Anglo-Saxons will be salty when Chinese, Indian or an African language becomes the new lingua franca. That's
That's what? Talk about a cliff hanger! ๐ณ
Why would the lingua franca change again? No type of Chinese, Indian, nor any African language has even remotely the same spread as English does. I'd wager some proficiency in English exist in a sizeable part of the population in almost every country on earth, same can't be said for most other languages (if any).
If history is anything to go by, the English speaking world runs into some trouble. Nothing much new comes out in English while somebody else becomes dominant in research and publishes in their language. That's getting picked up in academia and politics and if anyone wants to be up to date, they learn that language. The other language now starts to distribute their movies exposing more people who pick up that language and spreading from there.
Sure, that can take a few generations. It's not like everybody just decided to switch right now
The thing is, we can't exactly go by history since we've never been as interconnected as we are now. Intercontinental travel could potentially be seen as "just" a huge step up in transportation compared to the past but the internet has fundamentally changed how we communicate. When it comes to technology and science, English is the de facto standard and it's gonna take something pretty huge to disrupt that.
In my country I speak my language because others doesn't speak my dialect.
And I deeply appreciate it.
I learned Spanish in high school, but I never really had the opportunity to use it (grew up in a very insulated community where minorities werenโt exactly celebrated and โyouโre in America speak English was a common sentiment) and lost it. I can still say โyour mom smells like cheese when itโsu see waterโ and a few other things, but any semblance of conversational Spanish is gone.
I write simple explanations in english because developers can only write simple instructions in code.
I envy native english speakers. They don't have to waste time learning english.
Gringo momento xd
I speak (well, mostly write) English because it's the only language that the vast majority of the world knows, including my girlfriend.
Also, I'm a linguaphile and it has more words for me to play with than any other language ๐
in many cases, it's the only language that all participants in the conversation understand, not the only one for each.
but to be honest, if I could exchange my knowledge of my native language with the same amount of experience with something else (e.g. programming, math, etc.) I might take that deal (after moving to a primarily english speaking country of course).
Esperanto estas la plej bona kaj utila internacia lingvo.
You speak Esperanto because it's the only language nobody knows.
Tio estas amuza; mi konas multajn en mia urbo.
Sure. But I call it American!
I can speak nested languages
puts "this is english"
That's not true; I also speak Dutch!
Anyone want to speak Dutch with me? ...... That's what I thought.
En dit is waarom VS-Standaardisme zo'n groot probleem is op het internet. Iedereen spreekt Engels, en de Verenigde Staten zijn de grootsten wat betreft het aantal Engelssprekers. En daardoor ontstaat een situatie waardoor de meeste gebruikers worden gezien als Amerikaans tenzij anders vernomen.
Cause no one uses pig latin anymore. Uckfay hetay olicepay
Well I'm currently learning Japanese but I don't yet know enough words to make a funny comment here
And then the Anglos complain that they don't get the professional opportunities that those who know multiple languages get.
