Scientists predict loss of English language
Surely it is time some authority could find a way of arresting the political traitors who are destroying our way of life. There is no doubt that they are part of a world conspiracy to impose Communistic Globalisation on the people of the world. Time is short, what action can be taken to prevent our political "servants" from taking part in this treachery?
Somehow they must be legally arrested, locked up and replaced by decent law abiding citizens.

English will turn into Panglish in 100 years

English as it is spoken today will have disappeared in 100 years and could be replaced by a global language called Panglish, researchers claim. New words will form and meanings will change with the most dramatic changes being made by people learning English as a second language, says Dr Edwin Duncan, a historian of English at Towson University in Maryland, in the US. |
According to the New Scientist, the global form of English is already becoming a loose grouping of local dialects and English-based common languages used by non-native speakers to communicate.
By 2020 there may be two billion people speaking English, of whom only 300 million will be native speakers. At that point English, Spanish, Hindi, Urdu and Arabic will have an equal number of native speakers.
Dr Suzette Haden Elgin, a retired linguist formerly at San Diego University in California, said: "I don't see any way we can know whether the result of what's going on now will be Panglish - a single English that would have dialects... or scores of wildly varying Englishes, many or most of them heading toward mutual unintelligibility." How long will it take to find out? "My guess, a wild guess, is less than 100 years."
