how is english an official international language? there's no global law dictating this, it's just a consequence of the British empire.
Rules 👏 Based 👏 International 👏 Order 👏
Yes we should all communicate with each other in RISC-V assembly.
English is also the international language for computer science. So it's mega entrenched in other ways besides international relations.
I will not learn Toki Pona you can't make me
Klingon is the only answer
Why?
It’s just a means of communication. I admit that English is frustratingly difficult and nonsensical at times.
But what do you propose it is changed to and why?
It is the language of the colonial empire and of white supremacy.
We should change it to a new language created from mixing all languages in the world, and not just Euro languages.

there's no way to make this happen, it would have to happen naturally somehow. but it's not gonna happen, it would require too much thought and global cooperation. also, english already mixes a bunch of languages together.
Empires also made use of boats, hammers, and electricity. Imperialism has been conducted in French, Spanish, Japanese, and many other languages. Many strikes and other labor mobilizations have been organized in English. Replacing English as an international standard (though it's an unofficial one) is extremely difficult, and doing so for such a petty reason is annoying at best, heckling at worst.
I get your point, but I don’t think it can realistically happen. We can’t even saved dying languages.
Also mixing languages does not work well… just look at English.
If we could magically change to another language, I vote Japanese or Spanish as they are really effective t languages when you look at the amount of information that is communicated compared to syllables spoken.
It is the language of the colonial empire and of white supremacy.
right, your question is really "should we end the anglo colonial empire and white supremacy?"
yes, of course we should.
Yes, everyone go learn lingwa de planeta
Bien sûr, Français est la langue supérieure, puis on doit retourner à la tradition et utilise Français comme la lingua franca.
Vive la France et vive la république 🇫🇷
