There is a view that a new language should be invented for communication on a global scale. While this idea may seem beneficial in terms of making it easier for people to interact, I believe English and a few other languages already became too integrated into our lives, especially in the fields of business and technology. Thus, there is no need for a new language.
A new global language could be helpful if it combined various elements of different languages into one, making it easier to learn and use. However, many attempts to create such a language did not result in productive outcomes. Even Esperanto, the world’s most popular constructed language is only spoken by around 100,000 people despite being available for more than a hundred years. This example suggests that creating a new language that is favored by millions could be a more difficult task than one can imagine.
Having English and a few other languages such as French and Spanish has been beneficial for many years. They are already spoken by billions of people, and English, most importantly, is easier to learn when compared to many languages. This same language is also prevalent in the world of business and technology, with most negotiations using English and devices having it as a default setting. I am convinced we should maintain our use of English and promote it even further to the point where the vast majority of the world speaks it. This can result in further economic advantages by improving business communication between different countries, while also helping people become bilingual or multilingual.
In conclusion, there is no need for a new language when English and some other globally popular languages are already being effectively used. Promoting a new language is basically a waste of time and resources.
