English is a default at this time, but it is too hard to master and does not suit the requirement of an international language.
Hi Tony,
I studied a few languages at school when young. Dutch, English, German and French.
I was more into science than language, so I had to work hard learning these 4 languages. French was most difficult for me, next German. I am Dutch, so that one was easier (close to German), and English was easiest for me. But Sanskrit was more difficult than all 4 together. And Chinese would be impossible for me, I think.
Is there already a language more easy than English, for all? And nowadays I think, all over the world English is kind of accepted. In India it seemed to be (1.34 billion people). China I don't know, so I googled and it seemed they also accepted English.
The importance of English language in China. Languages are a fascinating subject, particularly when it concerns the amount of speakers. Currently, the English language is the second most spoken language in the world next to Mandarin with over 1 billion speakers, both natively and as another learned language
The importance of English language in China., Study in China
I would vote for English any day, please God, not Mandarine
Would be practical also, to choose English IMO, as so many already speak it, and so many learning books in English. Starting all over with a new language seems quite a waste of time, energy and resources to me.
Did Bahaullah indicate or say, that English would not be good enough? Or did he say it would be best to start from scratch, and have all countries involved.
Even when starting a family, I think it's good to start fresh, not moving in with another (though it might seem convenient, I think the building together is good for a lasting relationship).
