Do you believe the speakers of larger languages have a duty to atctively promote the need for the adoption of an easy to learn universal auxiliary language to be taught in schools in all the world alongside the native language? |
Agree. (All must have an equal opportunity to preserve their native language and be able to access the hearts and minds of mankind) |

Disagree. (A Universal auxiliary language is not needed to preserve minority languages; that's what interpreters and translation devices are for) |

Disagree. (The English language is already on its way to becomming that universal language and, as far as I'm concerned, it's more than easy enough to learn to allow everyone to master it and preserve their native language too.) |

CP, thanks for the nice words. I didn't know "fawning" was a synonym for "respecting someone's ideas"; if it is so, I am the one who should be accused of fawning on you, for I've always found your posts absolutely great!

And thank you for very kind words, Clarissa M.
Now I guess we will be accused of having a "mutual admiration society." (It's a kind of a joke that people make if any two people compliment each other.) _________________ You live a new life for every new language you speak. -Czech proverb |
