But we're already in the 21st century
My guess is some kind of Semitic / Akkadian language after the middle east union is formed.
English. Indians speak English, and China is too insular with its culture and people.
>Middle East Union
Sure, right after Yugoslavia reunites and hell freezes over.

in 20th century the lingua franca was French noob
also, Spanish
Because of phiosophers and shit. They were not much of an economic power but they were an intelectual centre.
As far as I know, Germany was a pretty weak in Europe until the late 19th century
>Too insular
China is a world trade superpower. They have been buying up swathes of real estate in the west, especially in cities like Vancouver and San Fransisco. They are investing and building infrastructure around the world, especially in developing countries in Africa, etc. Once they develop, those ties will have been long-standing and well developed. I wouldn't underestimate them.
Germany as you're referring to it wasn't a thing until the late 19th century.
because we weren't unified until the end of the 19th century.
Computer based languages of course!
Swahili
Hmm, tough question.
I'll have to say Swedish. It sounds best, and has superior grammar.
Prove to me that languages even exist.

Pretty sad to see this every time the topic comes up desu but it's the reason this book was written for people like you.

my grandparents grew up in the 1920-1930's, learning latin and german was mandatory to get a highschool diploma (at least in two northern and a southern state), but back then you could retire from a high paying career without one
german or latin was still a requirement until the 60's in most of the usa, for my parents at least
and of course our immigarnts who were german...
>all these mandarin replies
Why?
How much cultural influence does China have where you live?
How many chinese songs do you hear on the radio? How many chinese movies have you seen at the cinema? Do people in you're country follow chinese fashion trends? Do people know anything about china and chinese culture what so ever? Can they name any chinese cities except for Beijing and Shanghai?
We're all still living in America, and there's no alternative surficing at all.
90% of television in Sweden is American, almost all songs/trends/whatever.
Hell, the average swede could probably recite at least 20 american states from the top of their head
At least Hong Kong cinema was pretty big and even influential in Western countries before.
If China hadn't turned Communidt we might have Mando-boos and Mando-pop right now.
Didn't most of those write in latin, before the 20th century? Specially philosophers.
most autistic people are not smart at all, and they need to be cared for continuously, the functional smart ones are a small minority.
No. French was THE language everyone and their mother learnt up until the 50's / 60's if they wanted to work in anything international related. English was learnt in colonies and by some others in continental Europe as a secondary language that they took with French. Don't be fooled.
I never heard of this. By the time scholastic academia kicked off in America, the UK and it's academic institutions were large enough to warrant publishing most of their own shit in English. It would help to know German and French in order to read journals and papers written in both of them.
Latin was learnt just so you would be cultured; post-18th century you rarely see it outside of core-natural science publications.
>tfw high functioning assburger
french was for pussy, german was for money
latin was for doctorate or priesthood
do you even eigenvector?
Mandarin
read ya dummy
make one solid argument that mandarin will be used in the west other than "muh chinese GDP"
I'm watching the chinese takeover of canada first-hand Sven. It's obvious that Mandarin will be the language to learn in Canada.
>in 21th century intellectuals will have to learn
How to think once again, once so called "intellectuals" have forgotten that skill for a long time.
