The immense progress in fields of science and technology has created the need to facilitate the world wide exchange of knowledge. Thus the latest industrial development demands an international language which everyone is able to understand. Because of its predominance in the industrial world it seems convenient that English will become this world language.

No matter how we evaluate the consequences, we can be sure that English as a global language will definitely come. A global tongue will always function as a killer language, so we will not be able to preserve all languages and their cultures. To say it frankly, the loss of individual culture is one of the prices for progress in our modern world. If we put the argumentation upside down we would have to propose : "Let us stop progress, stop scientific research and technological inventions. Let us stick to the status quo so we will save some languages!". Who would agree? So we will have to pay the price for a global language. In my opinion the obvious thing to do is to teach people a skilful use of the English language now to let them participate in international communication so they as well will benefit from the advantages of a global tongue.

But, if everyone speaks the same language, will people still be able to keep their regional identities? As long as different cultures manage to keep their own language for internal communication there is nothing to worry about a global tongue. In Europe globalisation rather turned into a chance for the dive
