At what point in the future of Earth will the English language

>>8911191
We can't even make guesses. Right now there are no indications that it can die out, and even if something happens in the future, with our rates of globalization it will just give way to another world language. I guess if we sent colonists to another solar system then their language would eventually diverge from ours.

when people stop using it
good luck with that

Yeah, a replacement major world language is implied. Like, is it possible that different dialects between different American states could get so severe that they break out into their own separate languages?

Good luck with what? I'm not doing anything about it.

Again, with globalization it's going to be the other way around, everyone in America will be speaking Californian.

good luck with trying to predict when will English fall out of use, when there is literally no indication of such a thing happening at the moment
it's not an impossible thing to happen, but you lack any kind of real anchor point, something which would give you some real world data
currently English gains users by the year
millions and millions and there is no end in sight
and forget about dialects

Russia invades United States in order to protect International Laws due to constant violation from US (2070)
Russia becomes world super power and Russian becomes the international language
Meanwhile, Syrian immigrants continue to rape yuropoor women and murder the men, forcing the population to become predominantly Syrian and erasing any English speaking peoples
Estimated year of English eradication is 2300, where people atop learning English and switch to Russian after these events occur

It's semantics, OP.
How different does it have to be before people decide to call it a different language?

How diff'rent doest t has't to beest bef're people decideth to calleth t a diff'rent language?

How old are you?
Russia already was a superpower and Russian was a compulsory language in dozens of nations for half a century. I didn't uproot a single native language.
Hell Russia itself has like 150 different languages.
That's not how this shit works.

English is embedded into the global social fabric like no other language before it.

Good point, I guess it'll evolve until it's eventually unrecognisable to us.
