Do we need to have a common language around the world?

It's built into us to have a common language and that's our body. our body language is universal and applies to every human being out there.

it is a very big yes to have a common language around the world so we can understand each other, accompany each other and talk to each other.

Its one of the options of globalization. Blur the borders of the countries. On one side it is good: simplified connections between people, simplified cross-border paper turnover, etc, but on the other side, nations will merge with one another and all the unique cultures will be gone. And that's not good. Every people have its own culture and that is what differ the nation.

Lingua Franca is not necessary in the world, we might have it in a country but for the world i don't concur. This is not the basis for the development of any country or the whole world

Just until now, every try was a failure.
But enghlis is the new esperanto

I believe that we already have common language in the world.
I think that more than 50 % of the people in the world can speak or understand English.
So, officially or unofficially, we already have common language.
Yes, we need common language in order to be able to communicate sand have relationship.

English is unofficially the common language of universe  :D

It also builds trust and confidence when both parties understand each other.

The real problem with english is that if we are chinese, french, spanish, arabian, ecc we can speak english and understand each other.

But when an amercan arrives, nobody understand him....  :D

We need one, but we must not abandon all the other ones that add to cultural diversity.

Yep. Americans need to learn english... at least, the pronunciation... :-)

Although often heard, it is not everyone understands the meaning of the term "good and right" in the language. Not every good language is true and vice versa, not all the right language is good. Of course it is best to be able to speak well and correctly. in order to do so, it is necessary to understand first what is right and what is right.

A good language is a language that fits the situation. As a communication tool, the language must be able to effectively convey intent to the other person. therefore, the selected language barrel must be appropriate.

Correct language is a language that is in accordance with the standard language rules, both rules for written language and oral language standard.

Learning Foreign Language is a provision when we will all step in the life of globalization. .every person must wrestle in the world of globalization if you want to grow and not run in place, Benefits of learning Foreign Language itself is not too far away with its purpose, just as a benefit of course this is interpreted more specifically. by mastering Foreign Language a person can communicate further, so that his insight in information technology itself will be more open and certainly have big capital to step in a world where technological progress is always moving forward.
there are many reasons and benefits that you will learn if you can master Foreign Language

If we can achieve a global village then a common language is required . English language is on course to achieve that.

Different languages make it possible to express cultural characteristics

I think it is necessary and important, because we must understand each other, if this were not, we would not understand each other((

The answer is obvious.  We cannot communicate each other particularly here if no one knows how to speak particular language.  That is why english is the universal language so that every nation can understand each other.  I came from Asia and some came from Europe and other continents and part of the world.  So having a common language is a must.

English is very much the common language of the world now but in the future this may change. As to whether we should all have a language which we speak at the same time i think this would be impossible because naturally we disagree with each other as humans and therefore it wouldnt work

yes, we need a language that can be understood by the public at large, otherwise there will be many misunderstandings among fellow human beings and we can not freely exchange ideas. there can be no progress of human civilization if man can not exchange ideas or dreams with his neighbor.

I don't think so ...
of course it's not a bad thing but it's just not that easy,
besides we already have english as a unifier.
with english as a unifying language i think that's enough

Someday in the future, maybe it will happen. How some ancient languages became extinct. But I like the current variety. And personally I was sorry when the various national coins of Europe were replaced by faceless euros.  :(

I am very sure we do. Because if not, we would have not relationship with our neighboring countries. We could not connect with the world and progress in every aspect will be difficult. I thought like that but i am sure there will be more negative effects if there is no universal language.

Language is a system that consists of the development, acquisition, maintenance and use of complex systems of communication, particularly the human ability to do so; and a language is any specific example of such a system

i think there is a common language that is being used all around the world now , and that language is the english language. Its important that we have a common language to used , for easy communication in other countries. And for us to simply understands each other. English language is the number one subject in all school as i know for this day. Because most countries today uses english whenever they are all around the world.

We need to but having said that it doesn't mean we have to be monolingual.
IMHO in near future everyone will be at least bilingual with Global language (read - English) being accompanied by knowledge of at least one Regional language.

So Global language goes hand in hand with Regional language and latter will never fully loose usability and practicality in certain specific applications.
 

yes, we need common language so that we can understand better, communication is more clearer, transaction can be made easy, problem and conflict can be resolve in a more sensible and understandable way.. although english language now can be consider but not all can speak it... language is a bridge to a better world.

I think we already had a common language in the world. It's english, i'm not a british or american but i usually use english language in my coversation .

No, we do have English, no matter who you are, you can speak English.

We already have a common language, and it is known as English. You and me are communicating to each other using that language. But that doesn't mean that you should force someone to give up his mother tongue. It happens a lot here in India, where people are forced to stop speaking particular languages, due to political pressure.

yes very necessary
English I think is the easiest language to learn and understand

I think English is the common language in the world. Many can understand english and can comprehend a little to some. Amazingly, mandarin is the language for the business world.

As a language teacher, humanity do not need to have a common language around the world . Because having different languages on earth creates cultural diversity and gives people a change to find out about other cultures. For that reason, there is no need to create new common language .

Sign language is the language of the whole world. In extreme cases, you can draw and everything will become clear. This language does not have to be done, everything should be as it is.

For me it's yes ,we need to all understand a common language to the whole world so we can understand each other.

yes, we do. at least knowing or understanding common language can help us in terms of 3 purposes such as education, employment, and entertainment or enrichment. for example, English. it is widely used by people over the world. in other words, mastery of English will definitely helps us achieve an overall development of our collective lives and expanding societies.

yes we need to common language so that we have understand,definitely achieve us development lives in this word

There are over 6900 distinct languages in the world today..... I think english is a best language.

A common language is so importand for share thoughts and to understand differnt cultures and....i think English language is common language for our world and we need to learn English language.

Yes, we do, but it's almost impossible. Even English in diffrent countries is different. Try to understand English in Sri Lanka... It's far more simplified!

no, I think the human will be more beautiful with the diversity of languages used around the world. god created us in diversity, so that we can appreciate the significance of a difference.

There have been attempts to create an international language for the whole world - such an example is Esperanto. I think the idea is good, but there is too much cultural diversity in the world.

It is difficult to answer this question. I guess opinions on that score will be 50: 50. I personally favor, but only it is difficult to imagine what will be this language.

One more language is not necessary, because there is already a common language, this is English.
Nowadays, the line between languages is blurring, as too many words borrowed.
But I think it's very important to preserve the socio-cultural characteristics of each nation, to develop one's own language and to have a good command of the language

Oh that would be wonderful to have such language and make it obligatory for studying at schools!

Yes I agree.
Anyone who is familiar with Orwells conceot of the fictional language "Newspeak" will understand that one single language would be very very detrimental to the human mind.

The Indonesian language is spoken by around 200 million people as a first or second language in Indonesia. Indonesian is an Austronesian language which is very similar to the Malay language spoken in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei. The Indonesian language is also considered a working language in East Timor.

Nobody didn't use Esperanto like common language. Before English was French and Latin but only for West World. English really first global language. But if all people will start use it as native they lose their cultural identity.

There are two very common languages used in every country and these are the verbal, which is the english language and the non-verbal which is body language. Now most people in various country use the english language as a means of communicating with other people in different countries this is because it largely influenced countries from its political and economic hegemony. Body language is also considered our universal language as it unravels gestures of our emotions, how we feel about something, and to let other people understand what we want in general.

A common language would have been ideal for us all. But since it's not possible to understand every tongue, technology is the only way to go. With improved language translating devices, we technology will eradicate the need for a common language in the world.

so you are not calling the english as our common language almost some of the people has not been learn how to use it. is the english as universal language but not common. i think that it would be better if we have same language but its not good because it can cause war. the history make us to have different languages because of some reason

 Yes we need to have a common language to easily communicated to others . Even we have different languages we should have a common language for us to understand people what they are saying .I think our common language is English is that right ??

each nation has its own language. It is unique and reflects the world outlook of the people. if we introduce one language for all, the uniqueness of whole cultures will disappear

Yes, how if no common languange so we can not understand each other.

It would probably make communication easier for all of us that way. That may lessen the misunderstanding all over thr world. We can all agree that there are times that it becomes a barrier so having the same words would at least give us an easier time to talk things through

what is meant by body language

Yes, if not then we can not communicate properly.

Benefits of learning Foreign Language itself is not too far away with its purpose, just as a benefit of course this is interpreted more specifically. by mastering Foreign Language a person can communicate further, so that his insight in information technology itself will be more open and certainly have big capital to step in a world where technological progress is always moving forward.
there are many reasons and benefits that you will learn if you can master Foreign Language

Having the same language for the whole world provides comfort and convenience, in communicating with people from other countries. because in this world consists of many countries, and also of course have a national language that is different from one to another.

English is the best communication language, but I wish I could make single language in hole world..

Kindness is a universal language as said by one of the beauty queens.  And I think it is true.  You may not understand one another's native language but through kindness and hospitality,  everyone can express their feeling without saying a single word.

English today is kind of what you mention. It is adopting new global term everyday

There has always been universal language (lingua franca) throughout history. Latin, Mediterranean lingua franca, French, for purpose of trade, diplomacy etc. Now days it is English. But none of these languages has ever been able to substitute mother tongue. However well you speak English as a non-native speaker you will never be able to express yourself in English in all aspects of life.

Have you ever imagined how fantastic it would be if everyone spoke the same language? We would not have these barriers imposed by speech, I believe that the relation between the countries would improve, not to mention the innumerable advantages that this would bring in the cultural, musical, artistic and cinematographic aspect.

It is a lot more complicated than just creating one language that everyone can speak. Language is not made up only of vocabulary and grammar, the whole culture of a nation is a vital part of the language itself. Just think about expressions, idioms, and realia, these all have roots in the culture where the language is spoken in. This is one of the main causes of miscommunication when talking to a person whose native tongue is different from yours. The native language has an enormous influence when learning a foreign language. The reason why Esperanto was a failure is that there was no single culture behind it. Even with globalization, there will still be certain cultural differences between different groups of people.

Yeah but i think the common language is just a language that everyone can understand when we are speaking that language. English is already solved that problem so i don't think we need another language anymore.

Yes, we need. Because not every country has same language to talk. And everyone uses mostly their mother tongue after born. But we must communicate with other countries. For this, we need a common language to communicate and so that we can express ourselves to anyone.

So unless English is not a world language?

May be, with the New World Order...

Imagine the ASEAN summit where the world leaders were gathered and they all spoke their native language. Have a beer, and rethink that thought.

Language - a complex sign system, naturally created by the person and correlating the conceptual content and type sound (writing). The term "language", understood in a broad sense, can be applied to arbitrary sign systems, although it is more often used for narrower classes of sign systems.

Artificial attempts to create such a language were already there. It was called Esperanto. But he did not receive wide distribution. Today it is enough to know English, so that you can understand in any country.

And why does the world have a single language? There is an international one, and not just one. The world perfectly communicates with their means while preserving and developing their national and ethnic languages.

In history, the man was originally only two people, Adam and Eve. And I'm sure they only speak one language. And I do not understand why now there are thousands of languages ​​in the world and it complicates us. If there was only one language, communication with foreigners would have been much easier.

Yes agreed but its impossible..  But If it were to be then we have a mutual understanding

Didn't it depense because now a days many people will forget their own languages because of tje influence of other country so that maybe better with one us language for bridge and no fighting and harmonious, peaceful world because the language is important all that were all met and bridge.

It would be nice, but in general that is impossible. It would be hard to get used to it, and it took a lot of time for all the people on world to begin to communicate that "language".

In the history of our ancient ancestors , there were no different languages that people spoken , its only one language that they are using , until the tower of babel is made. There starts people to use different language. And i think that it is necessary to use common languange around the world. And i think english languange is the common that people are using now.

Of course we need, it would be easier for everyone. I do not see the point of the small languages, which speaks no more than a couple of million people. I think for this role is best language is English, because of its popularity, we all remember the British Empire and size of its colonies, and because of the simplicity of the language

Chinese should be the universal language!

Don't you think english is already common language all around the world? Of course there are many lands where people can not speak any other languages. But a common language is needed for people to understand each other. Maybe then country borders may disappear.

For me, yes. We need to have at least one language that are common to all people around the world. Because, first at least,  if you have planned to go in other countries, you can easily communicate with people in that country. Second so that there will be better undestanding and more concrete unity with other, because you can communicate with them properly and least hassle.

Ofcourse we need common language to communicate each other between the others countries.
Make bilateral relationship to another country, grow up the economics between other country.

Common language can be a dynamic vehicle for exchange and cooperation and a catalyst for enriching world dialogue.

True, because language is a unifying tool and a tool to be able to communicate with everyone around the world. Just imagine if there is no language used to communicate in the world, whereas each country has a different language to each other. So we will be difficult to make transactions, communications and various other jobs.

Kindness is a common language.  The way we express ourselves through action is a language.  It doesn't need a word to say and make other people understand.  A small way of expressing our gratitude has a big impact to other people for them to understand us without even saying a word.

words I THINK IS NOT THE PROBLEM. ITS HOw we aCt should be the one to monitor. a common action, a common goal should be the purpose. Even if we have the same language if we are divided and not in unity then we are just as chaotic as now

There is one) Dance!)

I agree with you but it will be a lot easier to achieve what you're saying if we don't have to deal with a language barrier. It doesn't have to be that complicated, if we speak the samr language, there would be less concerns about not understanding others and making a clear point

English is the common language in the world.. Thats why we used english n0w because we dont know if we are the same country to speak our own language thats why we used english language to understand each other.

Yes of course we do. If we dont we are not able to understand each other. There is this one story that told that people were made to speak a different language each, (i guess god did that as a punishment in that story) and therefore nobody was able to communicate in any way with each other. Today it would be the same, just on a larger scale (with languages limited to regions), if we would not have kind of agreed to use english as a world language. I think its very important that humanity did so.

Well practically , I can't find the need to have a common language around the world because language serves as the "identity" of one person or country. If we will just have ONE language around the globe , how we will be able to distinguish the nationality of each and everyone ? Language represents the culture of every country so why change it to one common language ? Besides , i believe that  we will still be able to communicate to others even if we have differ language as long as we listen to them with our heart and be more comprehensive with each other's opinion . The key to good communication is with our actions not with language .

Yes..how we can understand each other if we dont have common language.its a must to have or use it.we can understand each other using english language.its a tool.how we communicate to other people from other country

English is almost a common language  ???

We have common language. If not we could not able to interact even in this forum. Common language removes barriers among people of different countries. Without it there would be no understanding, no relationship and no interactions.

I think not because every region or country must have different languages. This is what will characterize and distinguish between countries or regions

For me i think it helps if we have common language, so that people can understand better. Language barrier is no longer a problem, making transaction easier and conflict can be deal more correctly, but to have different language is a unique characteristic of ones' country, diversity of language should not be a barrier if kindness and love is applied.

I love your question so very much! yes, we do need the language that each one can understand. English is not enough.

I dont think we need a "common language" for us to understand eachother. First of all we have a universal language that we can use to communicate to other people outside the country that we're living. Second is that each and every language that we use is a part of our country's culture. It distinguishes us from the rest and makes us unique.

Language is a hindrance to understand one another.  However there is a common language that everyone may use in this world.  It is kindness. Even if we can not understand one another because of our language barrier,  let us still be the kind and nice to them and let our actions speak fot itself

English is the lingua Franca in business and international relation. So I think we need to have a common language in order to communicate with other countries to better understand other countries and its culture.

We already have a common language and it is English. Look here in bitcointallk forum, most of the people are not English motherlanguage speakers. And yet they write in English.

Definitely yes. I can imagine how easy it is when we have a common language around the world. First of all,  surely it will get easier to communicate with people around the world by having a common a language. We don't have to be capable at several languages to go around the world. Just by having a common language,  we can travel around the world without having any worries to communicate.

Truly said!

i thought every one shoud respect to there mother language,second was international lang...we already have a common language and it is English. Look here in bitcointallk forum,most of the people are use only english.most of the people are not English motherlanguage speakers.but in this world everyone shoud learn for there transmition And yet they write in English.

Yes we need to have a common language around the world because our world is composed of different groups, groups that are using different language we need it to have a unity and of course, in communication, language is imperative through language we can spread and gather information.

Every nation has one language, and people express their feelings through that language. all the creatures in this world have their own language. in the day when people did not know the language, they used to express their language with different parts of their body.

I think English is the common language of the world but still many people can not learn and understand English. I think there needs to be a better solution

I believe English is the International language, so it means we already have a common language. And for me it is really needed for all of us to understand each other. If we don't have common language, communication is nonsense all over the world. Bitcoin is for English people only, and we, whose English is not the main language wouldn't be here. We are not acceptable here in bitcoin if we cannot speak in English, or either we can't earn here in bitcoin. Common language which is English is like a medium, a way to reach other people everywhere around the world.

I do not think that it is going to be a necessary thing but I am happy that there are people who study different languages, therefore, they can translate for other people.

for me it is good that we have a universal language, so we can understand each other regardless of nationality, it saves time in learning the language of every country and nation.

This forum could be a good example of it. Look, many people from many corner of world has come here and everyone is sharing their thoughts. Is there is different sub forums of different language but the common ground is English. It does not necessary to be English as a common language but the world actually need a common language. Otherwise, the way of communication will become impossible.

Esperanto exists but doesn’t really work, so what’s the purpose. It would be more useful to have a common sign language

Language is what binds us together. For us to be able to stand for our plans firmly, we must have one common language for us to be able to understand and communicate with each other. Language will keep us together. However, we already have English language that let's us understand things from the people with foreign language. It builds a good communication relationships.

I really think that it would be better to have a common language because sometimes problem exists because of miscommunication. I really think miscommunication can be avoided if we all have a common language. It would be easier for us to understand other people.

Language is a set of symbols being used mainly for communication. The symbols may be spoken or written. Language is an aspect of human behavior. In written form it is a long-term record of knowledge from one generation to the next while in spoken form it is a means of communication. Language is the key aspect of human intelligence.

Indeed a lot of way even a numb can express whar they wanr by sign language but a lot of us making English language us a measurement of intelligence if your grammar is wrong they mocked you

Do emojis count as a language already?  ???

that's exactly your choice.
if you wanna get more knowledge or you feel that you need it more.
why not. ?
because understand common language is important to make you easy when you talk with other people who don't know each other or having different language.
if you don't want to be confused or don''t want to take the risk. just let it be.
it means you don't it it.
because when we learn something, it need intention.
it just gonna be useless if having no intention.

I think that english make this prety fair.

Numbers are the common language of mankind

For me the language is very important to us, because if you think, when the language is not in the world, we will not understand each other, but there are a lot a language here in world that we will not understand, so that we must learn the main language that is english.

Meh, forcing a single universal language isn't exactly easy, nor would it be effective. Teaching an old dog new tricks is pretty hard.

It'll be easier to just have technology solve the communication problem. In the next decade, we'll have real-time translation technology that'll be less than a meter away from your body.

I think it is not good because the world is unfair. In the year 18th hundred in the Philippines that colonized by spain. The Hero was named Rizal wrote a spanish book about love story who awake the heart of the Pilipino. The book was didnt notice by spanish, they thought that it is only non sense. Then, Pilipino citizen do a plan to fight using their own language that cannot understand by spanish.

yes of course.that is the way to know each other ,to know their tradition and especially to understand each other.English langauage is the number one we can use wherever country we go.So studying is important to learn english words so that we can speak propey.

Yes we need to have a common language around the globe in order to connect internationally. We need this in order to understand each other and also for the processing of imports and exports, in order to do the deals.

Yes, pretty easy and onedimensional stupid-language.
Perfect as world language.

Just pity the people that have it as mother tongue.

Language is one thing, but humans are extremely diverse, in one country there can be hundreds of cultures and sometime completely unalike.

yes of course.english is the center language of all the country.we need to learn english words for wherever country we go.we need to learn this to understand each other.

to meet new people and to feel satisfied with myself - many people say that traveling, meeting new people, making new friends is the highest goal. this is the reason for learning English

That is why we need a language where we can all talk, otherwise we will be like dogs and cats when we are talking, or like deaf and dumb, just pointing on something so we could agree or disagree.

Just take a look at this forum, lots of locals but we could understand each other in the main board because we are all talking in English. If you don't do the same, no one can understand you.

I think we already have one, English language. An international language.. If we dont have one, the world of business, trade and investment will not be possible. Also, it wont open the world of tourism around the globe. A common language is needed and necessary.

Once because of this, God destroyed the Tower of Babel
