There were many lingua francas of which French was supposedly the first global lingua franca. That changed and it became English (from what I understand). We will probably see another language become the lingua franca, so my question is: should it be English? Are there better candidates out there? Why / why not?
Again, English would make so much more sense as a common language than Arabic. There are more English speakers in Egypt alone than there are Arabic speakers in the whole EU.
Yeah but Arabic is much cooler than English.
Could you explain why? Is there something about the language that makes it cool?
It sounds badass. The script looks dope. It is much richer in vocabulary than English. I say let’s do it!
Opinions really differ on that 🤣 And every language has rich vocab.
I was kinda expecting something along the lines of linguistics e.g Arabic has no gender, the script is alphasyllabic, it’s Subject Object Verb, sentences have strict structure, or something like that. Just a personal opinion isn’t really convincing, unfortunately.
