I would also say still English but I think the Anglosphere will lose a grip on the world in the future

English is easy to learn and use, I see no reason to replace it.

Oh it'll clearly be English you fuckin pogue

fuckin oath strewth cunt, fair dinkum

shit we'll have subtitled vision by then. maybe even a graphical thing that will make it look like you're not talking to me in shit speak.

I think it should be english; easy language.
Spanish can fuck you up with its verb conjugation and multiple rule exceptions.

English is a language based around rule exeptions, I don't think that's a good argument for "the ease of english". However, that's irrelevant, as the língua franca is the language of the world power, not the language that is easiest to learn. Thus, if anglos get BTFO, it either be mandarin or spanish.

It's probably too late to dislodge English as the global language, no matter what happens to the Anglo countries. The only way it could happen is if a country like China manages to establish total global hegemony, which isn't very likely. It isn't enough to simply be the most powerful nation on earth, in order to achieve the kind of dominance English has it'd have to be more powerful than every other nation on Earth put together (which is the position the Anglosphere was in around 1950).

There are already non-Anglo countries where basically everyone speaks English as a second language (i.e. Sweden), and a huge number of countries have English as an official secondary language.. English IS the global lingua franca. It's happened, it's done. Even if all the Anglo countries disappeared tomorrow English would probably continue to be used (don't forget, Latin was used as a Lingua Franca for over a thousand years after the Roman Empire fell)

Why spanish?
Because lots of favela monkeys speak it?

>gloryfied hieroglyph language

>not knowing most JP flags on here are proxies

>implying they aren't english teachers and servicemen

that too.

English has been already hugely latinazed thanks to the Church and Guillaume le Conquérant/its aristocraty.
Even in Russia the nobility learned french during the XVIIIth and XIXth century, a lot of the URSS officials spoke french too, it was the official language of the nobility/diplomacy until the rise of USA.

Anyway Spanish is not that distant from english, both can be learned with ease but the second one already enforced its presence in a lot of domains (notably in science and high tech fields).

look at the flags posting.

look at the language they already speak with sound proficiency.
