I mean, people would obviously propose English to be the world language, but its problematic since that is like telling the world that British Imperialism is somehow “okay”, which is not okay.

So we need another language.

But how could we possibly agree on one?

Do we just find the 100 rarest languages then use one of those?

Do we create a new one?

    I’m on board for people being required to learn some second language, but to take a way a people’s language is basically cultural genocide. There are so many things buried in the nuance of usage, the grammar, and other things that are lost if the target language doesn’t have those features. As a second language, this doesn’t so much matter, but as a forced primary language (such as in the schools many aboriginal peoples were forced into), it is devastating.
