[QUOTE="farid_h, post: 15138270, member: 92820"] Latin is an excellent example of a global scale language (global w.r.t. the area covered by the Roman Empire that is). German isn't: that's at most a regional language spoken in parts of Central Europe and in a couple of former colonies. A better example would be French: an in-between of global and regional language, spoken mainly in parts of Africa. But can we say that French is a global language now? Nope, even half of Africa (and a couple of countries in Europe, Quebec etc.) doesn't cut it. Of course, English won't stay on top of the list of global languages forever (but who knows?), and should a new Empire emerge somewhere, its language will replace English. It has been speculated that this new Empire would be China... however, China doesn't have a tradition of global dominance. They're confined to their area, and even though they do a lot of commerce with other countries, they don't and can't export Mandarin there. Just look at Africa again: many sub-saharan African countries are currently China's home turf, yet they still stick to either French or English. [/QUOTE]
