This new 'Library of Alexandria' houses the best written works in English and will not burn down. Hollywood will continue to promulgate English movies to the most remote parts of China and Russia. English will not subdivide into dialects, as with Chinese, but rather will continue to evolve, as do all languages, given the protection of higher education where English is uniformly taught. The Anglophone World, from Great Britain to Australia, affords its populace easier access to education in English and this greater population will continue to dominate the world in their native tongue: English. In my opinion, of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051198531393129956.post-89199998818509773462011-03-24T09:35:12.469-04:002011-03-24T09:35:12.469-04:00Hi Giovanni, Claudia and Ben!

I love English, but the nature of things being what it is, today's empires will be tomorrow's ashes (pardon me the punk rock pundit). Nothing lasts forever, not even language, unfortunately.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11483490020980574428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051198531393129956.post-43709818431314128092011-03-23T19:06:54.303-04:002011-03-23T19:06:54.303-04:00Nice post, Anthony. ;)

Chinese could take over but that's only due to high population (and the spreading of such language by Chinese immigrants to different parts of the world). English is still strong as lingua franca in business and politics. Let's hope it stays that way.Claudia Zurchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00302024950570710809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2051198531393129956.post-68643805156500788162011-03-23T16:06:57.239-04:002011-03-23T16:06:57.239-04:00Somehow immediate need for concern seems unwarrant...Somehow immediate need for concern seems unwarranted. If/when the process will happen it is likely to happen more by evolution than revolution and it will be spurred on by extra-linguistic forces significant at the time.Giovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05208535309295325127noreply@blogger.com
