A language for everyone

A detailed Summary of A language for everyone

There are roughly 5,000 or so languages in use in the world today. There have

been grandiose plans by people in the past to create a universal language for the world.

One example is a language published by Dr. L. L. Zamenhof over 100 years ago called

"Esperanto," meaning "One who hopes." This language has no culture attached to it; it

was created for the sole purpose of world communication. Not many people have even

heard of this language, let alone use the language at all. It sounded great to Dr.

Zamenhof to create this language, I'm sure, but let's look at how realistic it is. Could this

world one day have a functioning universal language?

Let's for a moment set aside the fact that there are thousands of languages spoken

all over the world. Could it be feasible to get everyone on the same "sheet of music" per

se? Maybe we could use a smaller scale. Let us use the United States for example.

Better yet, Old Dominion University. We have many factors that need to be taken into

account. The three most prominent could be age groups, ethnicity, family and friends. I

think everyone has heard the saying that "you can't teach an old dog new tricks." In this

mover? What the heck was that? Were we speaking the same language? I then realized

you see, it really would have to be forced onto everyone, including those set in their

around the world and always know what was being said. If you ran into trouble, you

therefore, it was a money-mover. He thought it was strange that I called it am ATM. But

where ATM came from, since most ATM's at least have the words "automated teller"

today because it was "off the hook." I'd think she had gone mad!
