do you think that English is a lingua franca like latin was for romans during their times?

or greek and today that language is English, because if you know English, you are able to communicate with other people who don't speak your language or speak another different language, but if they know English, you are able to communicate? as a spanish speaker, if someone from china speaks English, I am able to speak with her or him even I don't know chinese, because both we speak English.

yes. But not necessarily because English is easy or cool or even the most logic language but because people speak the language where the bigger á off money is. This is why few scholars think that in the future the franca lingua will be Chinese. Obviously it's quite unlikely or generation speak Chinese I am talking of 50 years afterwards. I mean At least Two generations.

Without a doubt. But this will probably not always be the case.

It is an objective fact.
