英语未来The_future_of_english

ENGLISH is the most successful language in the history of the world. It is spoken on every continent, is learnt as a second language by schoolchildren and is the vehicle of science, global business and popular culture. Many think it will spread without end. But Nicholas Ostler, a scholar of the rise and fall of languages, makes a surprising prediction in his latest book: the days of English as the world’s lingua-franca may be numbered.
We don’t use English in our life, we are Chinese ,speak English is hard for us. To make money ,to find a good job.

Chinese or English ,which will be dominate in the future?

English is the world's most widely used languages

there are 175 countries speaking English in the world. With English as a native speaker of the state have six: Britain, the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Ireland. 75% of the world's TV show is English, three quarters of the mail is written in English, computer keyboard is English keyboard, any a meeting dare claims to be international meeting, the meeting must be used the working language of English, but the United Nations official workilish is expanding as a lingua-franca but not as a mother tongue. More than 1 billion people speak English worldwide but only about 330m of them as a first language, and this population is not spreading. The future of English is in the hands of countries outside the core Anglophone group. Will they always learn English?

With the economic globalization's influence ,English is more prevailing.

Mr Ostler is surely right about the nationalist limits to the spread of English as a mother-tongue. If he is right about the technology too, future generations will come to see English as something like calligraphy or Latin: prestigious and traditional, but increasingly dispensable.

The Chinese only know thousands of words can express the world; But English because of didn't grasp the relationship between universality and individuality; Every things are to build a word; Describe the world needs a great vocabulary

Mr Ostler suggests that two new factors—modern nationalism and technology—will check the spread of English. The pragmatism of the Achaemenids and Mughals is striking because no confident modern nation would today make a foreign language official. Several of Britain’s ex-colonies once did so but only because English was a neutral language among competing native tongues. English has been rejected in other ex-colonies, such as Sri Lanka and Tanzania, where Anglophone elites gave way to Sinhala- and Swahili-speaking nationalists. In 1990 the Netherlands considered but rejected on nationalist grounds making English the sole language of university education.

English will fade as a lingua-franca, Mr Ostler argues, but not because some other language will take its place. No pretender is pan-regional enough, and only Africa’s linguistic situation may be sufficiently fluid to have its future choices influenced by outsiders. Rather, English will have no successor because none will be needed. Technology, Mr Ostler believes, will fill the need.
