Surprised there wasn't a jibe about the worst possible international language being a creole of three different languages with the grammar of a fourth imposed arbitrarily a few hundred years ago; with spelling so inconsistent native speakers don't understand the rules; almost two entire separate vocabularies, one more 'high-class' than the other; and pitch and stress rules that aren't formalised and so can't be taught. But at least it doesn't have any accented characters. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to the café.

Somebody ought to define the vocabulary of that abve-mentioned language. Out of a million possible words how many should be used for easy English, how many for advanced English and how many for excellent English? Simply because of that fact I gave up learning new words in English long ago. And some journal named "Spotlight" justifies its existence by always "delving" (another great word) into that impossible one-million word vocabulary.

I think the only true ‘global’ language is English at the moment. But the others he mentioned are very widespread in their regions, arabic being the Middle East, Spanish central/South America, French in Africa, and mandarin in Eastern Asia to an extent. I think you have to take into account the huge diaspora from all these languages too, they all have huge populations in countries where they’re minority. That’s my grain of sand!

The Danes have an annoying habit of putting News about their Royal Family , sand especially Crown Princess Mary , on the Internet ,only in Danish, when they can all speak English anyway. Norwegian and Swedish are the same language, written with slightly different spelling, They Norwegians and Swedes can understand written Danish , but not the spoken language. Even Crown Prince Frederik does not speak English as well sas he did, because he had to speak Danish even in his home to help his wife learn this difficult language. My husband and I grew up in Cumberland , and spoke the local language , as well as speaking English . Its sounds are like Danish, but it is in fact like the Norse spoken in south east Norway. The population is relatively pure because until the roads out were improved 20 yearsago Cumbria was almost cut off from the main British road system and the rail system goes a long roundabout way along the coast . When we did his DNA it came out as 59% Norwegian , 22% Swedish, 18% Scottish , and only 1% English ( from his Great,grandmother) . Cumbrian should be the world language so that the Danes would not have to use English.

There's a video out there about a repetoire of signs that's common to apes across all species. If true, it's a remarkable finding. Communicating emotion goes back even deeper into the animal past and crosses many more species. The more primal the emotion, ie aggression and fear, the more universally understood it is. Representing abstract symbolic thought is a lot more complicated than communicating fear, obviously, but it's an ability that was built up from earlier communication strategies by natural selection. Our ability to exchange intellectual information positivity affects our ability to pass on genetic information. We might be seeing the next layer of information exchange strategies emerging at this moment in history with the creation of artificial AI personalities. Our ability to interact socially was at first constrained by proximity and time. Then came writing. Now we have computers but despite being linkex to the world, our monkey minds are still constrained by the speed of biological processes AIs can think at the speed of electricity and interact potentially with everyone online at a given moment. Someone is going to set one up as God or Jesus sometime soon and that's gonna be fun to watch.

I like diversity and international cooperation, however recently I've realized that globalisation just seems to be a fancy word for global dominaton and contoll.

Arcane spelling irregularities, complex writing system, phonetic writing systems where the characters don't closely match the phonemes, difficult to render .... English would be a contender because of our awful use of the Latin alphabet. Thai might be on the list for its abugida which has similar issues to English, but primarily by retaining completely arcane superfluous characters from centuries earlier. Japanese is notoriously difficult to learn because of it's writing systems. Ancient Maya too. Those glyphs ... As challenging to learn as Egyptian hieroglyphs, but each glyph is even more complex.

English is the worst International Language. It is in Pole Position, only because in the 20th century, English became the language of the pop music industry, film , tv, CDs Video , and International Air travel It is also the 1st language in Britain, Canada,Australia, New Zealand ,and South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is the second language in many other countries. It is not even the best language to express thoughts, feelings and emotions, and is deficient in many important features , which are present in some other major languages. Had America voted for German instead of English to be the language used in America in about 1790,, we would all now be speaking German as our 1st or 2nd language. French would not be good because the language is kept in a fossilised condition , to keep it ""pure "" by the Academie Francaise. Chinese might tale over if it adopts the Latin Alphabet , instead of writing in symbols. Spanish may take over because of its growing numbers of speakers in the USA.People who speak English as their 1st language have become lazy about learning any other language . I speak English French and German , and can read Latin and Classical Greek but I am in a minority of English speakers who know any languages other than our own.

It's not true that English as a first language speakers are more lazy than other major language speakers at learning languages. France, Germany, Spain and Germany all have quite low proportions of foreign languages spoken and you have to take into account that people basically have to learn English for global communication, which boosts the numbers of non-English speaking countries and reduces those of natively English speaking countries. Also, English is an easier language to learn than German or French, due to its simple tense and case system and very loose grammar rules. In fact, if it were taught in the same manner as the other two it would probably be immensely easier to learn, but English teaching is not actually as developed as others due to such things as the loose grammar structure. The vocabulary of the English language also comes from a remarkably large group of languages, enabling those of Germanic, Romance and even Greek languages to have great advantages. Furthermore, English words have already permeated foreign languages, meaning that virtually no matter what language you speak you already have some sort of basis in the language. Now, for some of the ways in which English is better than Romance and Germanic languages: Looser sentence structure, No genders, No cases, Simple, straightforward tenses, Varied vocabulary base, Lower standard for fluency.

Hmmm... I still think the number one worst possible auxiliary language would probably be kay(f)bop(t) though.

Well English makes Honorable Mention, doesn't it? Not the language itself, it is what the users did and are doing to it. We are verbing nouns, giving names to groupings (a gaggle of geese and a murder of crows), the misspellings becoming standardized because there were no standard spellings until about the 19th century, and the written and spoken forms aren't aligned. Also the vocabulary is insane, as there are over 170,000 words in English , not including specific terms and words for specific trades and professions.

Words transcend parts of speech in basically all languages, collective nouns are also very common. They weren't mispellings, they were phonetic representations of how words were pronounced, and those word counts of languages are all bs

Names to groupings are common at least in mandarin! It actually functions almost exactly the same way interestingly

As an aglutinative as they come language user, yes, word counts are .....😶 Let's say the tickle me wrong hearing them. Because; While some of my languages suffixes and sometimes suffix combinations are words in their own right in other languages, [some of them words not having a meaning alone (obviously because they're Xfixes) by the way], but the word(sssss) I make with combining them aren't counted as "words". sure pals. And I don't only stack them together while forming words. Result is not a stack of words like a sentence but written without a space. they're their own creations. I harmonise the sounds of wowels to the root and then strengthen or soften the consonants in it to ease the use, and obey rules of adding like the placement and which fix to and not to include in stacking etc.... So, may I ask, if a language can make words on the go like that, why should it's core have a word count of an avarage word count of nonaglutinative ones(not that aglutinative I mean, as many have some scant at least aglutination I hear)? Even languages like Arabic counts their regularly formed versions of their roots as words. But we can't. Agreed, we too know that all words we form aren't themselves dictionary worthy/countable basically, and yes, such a combination dictionary would be uncarriable by muggle means and be beyond hell to read/search in. But I get frustrated hearing word counts nonetheless.

English spelling is ... difficult. The root cause is the great vowel shift, so all vowels are different from the other European languages. Well except French, ok, but that has has at least its own consistent system. The creative spelling printers from god knows where brought into the language do not make it easier. Verbing nouns is not a problem, all languages have ways to do that (if they have that difference). It is just the English shows way more flexibility than other languages in that regard.
