Infographic: Should English Be The Official Language of the World?
I found this and thought I would share it with you.
My feelings on the subject? I believe that our linguistic diversity is what makes us great. I believe we all should learn and be exposed to multiple languages. I am certain that specific ideas can only be expressed in specific languages. Though there is advantage of a common tongue, there is a deep danger of losing our collective heritage should we adopt a universal Lingua Franca. I respect that the United Nations uses six official languages and would be saddened if that number was reduced.
