I get your point, but I don’t think it can realistically happen. We can’t even saved dying languages.

Also mixing languages does not work well… just look at English.

If we could magically change to another language, I vote Japanese or Spanish as they are really effective t languages when you look at the amount of information that is communicated compared to syllables spoken.

Spain was the most fascistic and genocidal country that this Earth has seen! Fuck Spanish! I say this as someone who is from a Spanish-speaking country, but who hates Spain because they genocided all the native population from my country and enslaved my ancestors. Death to Spain!!!

yes, but that doesnt get you closer to finding some new language for the world to use.

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Every language is associated with a region. What language do you recommend?

[-] Cummunism@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

there is no good answer here, because any answer is probably still a European language. We're not going to reverse several hundred years of imperialism in one life time to make a worldwide language that is woke enough for OP.

You are entitled to believe that “realistically”anything cannot happen. I dont agree since people have constantly created languages in history and we all somehow picked the language of the empire now.

We could all just “realistically” make a new language and decide to use it. All that stop us now is Anglo-empire influence.

You are right that we could. But we won't. Learning a language is difficult, it is very difficult and takes years and years of practice and study. Additionally, you need to get the large majority of the world to support this universal language.

Most people do not care to learn a new language. Most people who learned a second language already learned English. Realistically, they are not going to want to put that effort to waste.

I get your points, but do you think what you are suggesting is realistic? Do you think it could be done in a way that does not benefit the current countries who are in power? Do you think countries will even be able to agree on a new language?

you should read more on the history of linguistics cause you just sound silly now. languages developed over thousands of years, not because someone sat down and made it happen in a year.

The language predates the genocide, I do not see the problem with this language.

[-] Skipper1402@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 year ago

The language was spread through genocide and it does not predate genocide.
