@asetsuba: but if you really think about it, this idea has a lot of problems (like everything else in this world). First, every language has its own cultural nuances. I think it would be difficult to preserve the original meaning of certain words while also making them understandable to people from completely different cultures. Second, if such a language existed it probably wouldn’t be very “deep.” People would obviously be able to communicate about everyday things and understand each other but once the conversation became more abstract or philosophical that language might start to show its limitations.. Third, many people simply wouldn’t want to learn it. So at least in our century I don’t think this solution would be very effective. There are probably even more issues with the idea but it’s still interesting to think about these kinds of things. So if I were a scientist I’d probably choose efficiency and focus on improving the translators we already have xD (which is what is happening now)
you're not the first person to think about it
esperanto already exists

because eventually a universal language would just split into different dialects and eventually separate languages and suddenly, your back to square one. Thats basically how Latin became Spanish, French, Italian, etc.

i really hate when someone suggests this, apart from that this would be harmful to every culture, language is extremely unstable, if you somehow got to force one single language for everyone, then it would split into dialects really fast and in many cases the new creole languages that would emerge will be almost completely unintelligible to the standard dialect due to substrate influence

Es imposible, a eso se le llama fragmentación lingüística. Aunque se hable la misma lengua, con el tiempo surgirán pequeñas variaciones que se acumularán hasta que sean idiomas totalmente diferentes
Eso le pasó al latín, al árabe, al germánico antiguo, etc.
Pero me gusta tu idea, se escucha muy práctico 🥰🥰

Language is the heart and core of cultures and history. If we all switched to one we would lose our identities that make us up. If all of us were bilingual or spoke even more that would be cool but sadly not possible

I disagree, language breeds literary culture, we'd probably have no philosophy if cultures didn't create words and sounds in their language to describe things. like Chinese for example, a dam complicated language where one word has many different meanings and used in different context. however it gave us some amazing Chinese poems that can discribe things we know and see that if described in other languages like English, it'd lose its meaning in what its describing excatly.
