Scientists say that in the future humanity will speak the same language. Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

Some scientists believe that in the future there is going to be only

one

language

that humanity will speak. From my point of view,

that is

largely a negative development, which will cause an enormous cultural loss.

It is clear that

one

common

language

for all people can allow different nationalities and countries’ representatives to understand each other

as well as

never before. As an example, currently, there are a lot of

words

or phrases which either have dramatically different meanings or do not even exist in some languages, which disrupts a lot of people's mutual understanding.

Moreover

, even state representatives from around the world may have some issues

while

translating speeches or reports they make, negatively influencing relations between countries. With

all these misunderstandings will be eliminated.

However

, with the appearance of

the cultural legacy of every country in the world will be lost. Nowadays, there are a huge number of untranslatable

;
