Fantasies about future of English
- In 2050, I think, the amount of English speakers will increase.
- But it would not be native speakers – it will be a lot of people from all over the world, who will study English as a second language for building their career.
- They will resemble the nobles in Russian Empire, who used French oftener, than their native Russian.
- Gradually, English will play the same role as Latin played in medieval Europe or Koine (Ancient Greek) in Hellenism era in Mediterranean.
- Latin was a language of Church and Science all over the west world.
- English will be the language of IT and business in all over the world.
- If connection between English-speaking countries will break, could commence the process of dividing English into some different languages.
- That was in the medieval Europe after crushing of the Roman Empire.
- Relations between regions of former Empire weren’t supported any more, and in every separate region language was being developed in its own separate way.
- As a result we have the Romanic language family.
- If something similar will happen with English, we will have an Englic language family.
