-Mahavir Sanglikar
Here are some of predictions about the future of languages in the world.
The importance of English as a world language will start to decline as soon as the importance of United States declines.
The decline of English language will benefit Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, French and Russian languages.
Spanish language will be the most important language in the world after decline of English language. Spanish will merge as an important language even in United States.
United states will become a multilingual nation, just like India.
After decline of English language as world language, the structure of this language will start to change rapidly. The English language of United States, the English language of United Kingdom and the English language of Australia will start to differ from one another.
It doesn't mean that English language will vanish out, and countries like India, Pakistan etc. will continue to use this language. The largest English knowing population will be in India.
