Language of the future? I don’t think so. It’s gonna take an incredible force of nature to replace English as the most popular international language. Outside of Africa, most people default to English when communicating with foreigners.

Why does she not talk about English having replaced French as the language of diplomacy since the end of WW1 ?

English is the language of future not French. Chinese would be 2nd largest language in future.

So French grew out of "La'in." Did the Franks bring the T?

Hi, I'm French. I have searched for the history of French.
The video is not correct.
The language has been built fom Latin, just like Spanish... It has not been influenced by german dialects.
It is old. In 1000, French is already similar to modern French.
There has never existed a second variety in the South of France : Oc language.
And King François 1er did not make French the only language ; that is more subtile but you don t have to care about.

The Gallic pronunciation patterns of spoken Gallo-romain had far more to do with French than any Germanic influence. It ground down Latin to what we have today, and it gives French its distinctive U. The Frankish language loaned some words. Also, the future international language is up for grabs, especially is the US becomes an authoritarian state under Trump/Republicans. Sorry, Brits, you set the stage, but the US made English important. Also, sorry for bringing politics into the discussion, but authoritarianism isn’t sexy. It’s why China isn’t a cultural icon unlike Japan or South Korea.

Imagine a Frankish-Gaulish-Latin language being the language of the future 🤮
