| All of us know of such an artificial universal language as Esperanto. It was an effort of a warsaw scientist who tried to reconcile and unite the warring people living in the same territory. Then people need it to prevent disputes, but now i think there is no such necessity. People live in different areas and they speak different languages, they enjoy it. Every language is a value of a nation. Each language is a reflection of a culture of a country, people try to save it. I believe humanity doesn't need a universal language for communication, it is a choice of an individual.

| It can not be denied that English is a widespread language. For lots of people English is their native and second language. Nowadays people must learn it because this is the language of communication between people all over the world. If you want to have a good job, you should also know this language. But I agree with the statement that people from different countries represent their culture. Their culture is unique. If people have one universal language, they'll lose their individuality.

| Nowadays there are a lot of people who speak English and a huge number of people who learn this language. People do it to have a good job or for traveling.as for me I learn English to be a teacher.i think that every person should know two or three languages.it is very interesting. You learn language and culture of other countries. It's really cool when you know a lot about our world and when you can communicate with different people....

| Of course i think that it's impossible to create one language for all people. Language is the way of thinking, so i believe you will agree that using a foreign language is just the same as using alien brain to express your OWN ideas or opinions. Moreover every language is unique, for example we have a lot of different concepts in Russian that we can't express using any other language exept Russian. That's why using a global language destroys your native cultural herritage. But i agree that we have to create one language for all scientific,health, IT and other concepts. And English almost does it.

| The most part of the population of a planet uses English as the native language or as foreign. In many countries learning of foreign languages in educational institutions is obligatory. English also was very strongly fixed for a long time in all branches of our life. Today ability to communicate in English became norm and even need

| From my point of view, it is one of the silliest idea to create one languge for people. I agree that we have many problems when we try to talk with people from other countries but It shouldn't make us think about creation one language for everybody. Every language have developed for a long time and if all of us will speak one language, we can lose other language. Thus, we can lose a lot of traditions or even part of our history!!! Cutting a long story short, i want to say that I think that we shouldn't create one language. We should speak our native language and save our culture and history. We should't lose our uniqueness.

| It's a well known and real fact that English is the most popular and widespread language in the world. A lot of people speak English and write on it, use English words and phrases in everyday life.
But I don't think that English will bе the single language for Humankind because even English is the language-collector, not a separate language. Moreover, it's a bad idea because in this case all differences between all people should be erased, all nations should become one and give up their own language and identity. But it's unrealistic and unfair because each nation has a long history and a right to exist.

| Do you think one language for humankind influence society negatively?
What do you think about changes in the language's stucture?
Why do some people want to have one universal language?
Will society change if people use the same language?
What language, in your opinion, can be as universal?
