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?
@khannie I studied it too, but a Romanic language is already my native one, so I found it even less useful. Glad I escaped alive.
