Are you an advocate for one universal language in the world?

Question

Answer 1

Has to be one of the dumbest questions I've ever seen. How's that going to work? Who's going to decide which language? Who's going to pay teachers to teach the world one language? Dumb !

Answer 2

Definitely no.

Languages are part of history and knowledge, of arts and science. They are part of peoples', regions' and countries' heritage, present and future.

Answer 3

There already is a de facto universal language, Cowboy, or didn't you notice?  It's called English.

If you meant one and ONLY one universal language, to the exclusion of all other languages, then NO, of course not, as Marianne has already eloquently explained.

Meanwhile, Cowboy, go study your Esperanto. (not that it would help)

Lol - there's also Volapük or good old Latin for the "Occident" - unless you prefer ancient Greek.

Lol, or lingua franca.

Lol - indeed!

And sign language(s) ...

LOL!   But the sign language would have to be standardized.

For example, the "thumbs-up" gesture is considered rather rude in some places.

Yes, indeed; I heard about quite a few "misunderstandings" or "misinterpretations".

There's also the problem with grammatical signs, syntax, "false friends" in translations, etc.
