english is easy enough to learn (could be made simpler tho like an international version with little to no exception rules and simplified grammar).
it's already de facto standard for technological discussion, documentation and research papers and online discussion.
who cares about the rest?
english for everything except religion which should be sanskrit by definition

French and German work very well for literature too.
Aesthetic is subjective. You like italien the best, but any other choice would be good.
For philosophy, if you mean ancient greek you're correct, but it's not the same language that's spoken in today's Greece. Also, French and German.
For religion, it depends on which religion. Latin/Italien is correct for christianism. But other great religious languages include Arabic and Hindi.
>Historical significance
For foundation? Latin. Modern history: French.
>World usage/usefulness
English
>Literature
Greek
>aesthetic/aural beauty
