DID YOU THINK ABOUT IT??? PEOPLE SPEAK FROM 2500 TO 7000 DIFFERENT LANGUAGES ! ! ! DO WE NEED SUCH A BIG AMOUNT OF LANGUAGES? WHAT IF THERE WAS ONLY ONE AND PEOPLE HAD 100% UNDERSTANDING AND THERE WAS NO MISUNDERSTANDING IN RELATIONSHIPS AT ALL ? WOULD YOU STOP COMMUNICATING YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE AND LEARN THE UNIVERSAL ONE? WOULD YOU TAKE PART IN MAKING THE LANGUAGE?

Even if everyone in the world all spoke the same language, there will never be 100% understanding. People have misunderstandings using their native language all the time. Just ask anyone who is married, lol.

My husband and I can't even agree on where the color "purple" ends and the color "blue" begins. We're both native English speakers.

This is a very interesting scenario. For me, I LOVE have a vacation from my native language of English. I love the fact that I can delve into a different culture with a different language. I love the variety. Though, of course, it is not the EASY way, towards 100% comprehension and understanding, to me, it is a fun variety from boring/mundane-ness of my native language. ---- Language is an art in and of itself that I enjoy exploring the variety of.

But yes, I totally understand your predicament. :)

I think a universal language would be fun if I had another language that was my first language. I always feel a little jealous of people who speak English as a second language almost perfect while also being fluent in their native language. If there was only one language in the world though, I think it would make life a little boring.

Ouch. Why all caps? That makes it seem like you're screaming your message.

My opinion? I looooove languages and think it would be really sad if they stopped existing. It makes our world so much more interesting.
