The worst part about it, is English is hands down in the hardest languages to learn, and almost completely nonsensical.
And just communicating in it, tends to make people think and behave in a more individualist manner.
Like I know I’ll get shit for saying this, I always do:
But as a species we should have made a “common tounge” long ago like Lord of the Rings.
One that’s easy to learn, and has a neutral effect in nias of thinking.
Everyone is free to use their native language, and learn any other language they want.
But have the “common tounge” be something everyone, evwrywhere, learns.
If we never do that, then we’re going to see what we’re seeing now. English becoming a default language and pushing out others from all facets of life.
Language extinction is a real thing. If England hadn’t colonized so much shit and fired natives to only use English, then it would have been forgotten about. Even the English monarchy didn’t use English for most of the languages existence.
It’s such a weird series of things that lead to one of the worst languages on the planet to become the default everyone tries to learn as a second language at best, and destroying other languages at worst
