french is inferior to english

>>35884707

Chinese, but as others said, is too complicated, so maybe like ''simplified chinese'' or spanish. If Southamerica ever wakes up and the USA gets a shitskin president.

>>35884574
There will either be English, or there will be nothing.

esperanto

it'll work this time

Shut up you mexican.

English is already the universal language; Mandarin may have more speakers (because of China's population), but English is more widely spoken and is the traveler's lingua franca. When you go to a popular tourist city in Japan or France, do you see signs in Arabic or Russian or Spanish? No: you see signs in the native language and English. Some day we may know English as "Earthlish."

Chinese is one of the most simplistic languages in the modern day. Only thing thay makes it difficult is tones, but those can be omitted wuth context

You see them in Japanese or French.

Latin desu

>>35884962
And English. In places like Toukyou and Paris, many shops advertise in English and citizens speak English fluently.

I highly doubt the Chinese language will survive beyond the popularity of Latin into the 23rd century.

Spanish indeed

None. The only one that would even stand a chance would be Chinese, and that would only be if Pinyin became the standard mode of writing it because hanzi/kanji is shit. The Roman alphabet is too widespread across too many other languages to ever be displaced.

Universal translator applications will render the question moot anyway.
