“And the whole earth was of ONE language, and of ONE speech”
Genesis 1;11.
“And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven (in other words, the world’s FIRST Skyscraper); and lets us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11;1-4.
The Confusion of Languages
Verses 5-9; “And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is ONE, and they have ALL ONE language; and this they begin to do; and now NOTHING will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of ALL the earth; and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of ALL the earth; and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of ALL the earth.”
An airport can sometimes feel like a modern-day Tower of Babel, and the effect of a universal auxiliary language there is crucial.
Foreign words linger in the air, and the effect of a universal auxiliary language is present!
People exchange sheepish, hesitant looks that say, “Where are you from?” before trying to speak.
You learn a few words in Croatian to at least thank the airport official in her native language, only to find out she’s Ukrainian.
What do you do if you accidentally bump into someone at a German airport?
Try your hand at apologizing in German or default to English?
But what if the person speaks neither?
It’s enough to make you neurotic.
You might be smiling right now because this sounds all too familiar.
All bets related to a universal auxiliary language are off here.
There is no protocol.
All the social norms that give you a sense of security at home are flipped upside-down.
It makes you wonder, what would happen if we had a universal auxiliary language? We do.
Too many of them. Esperanto, Volapük, Interlingua.
Movements for an international auxiliary language have sprouted all over recently!
The idea of having a universal auxiliary language is not new.
After all, the benefits of having one global language are clear.
Imagine a world with no language barriers, no miscommunication.
For centuries, the languages of dominant societies have become the lingua franca, the go-to languages for international communication.
During the rule of the Roman Empire, for example, Latin was the standard language for trade and commerce in the Mediterranean Region due to the empire’s sheer economic and political power.
This situation has continued to evolve with the changing tides of the international arena.
Nowadays, some people would argue that English is becoming the lingua franca of the modern world!
Not surprisingly, people often meet lingua franca with a certain amount of resistance.
Who wants a foreign language imposed on them simply because a particular region has the upper hand economically or politically?
The adoption of lingua francas has sometimes been interpreted as a form of cultural imperialism, stripping away the cultural individuality of less powerful regions.
For this reason, linguists have tried to construct an artificial auxiliary language.
They have tried to construct a code:
This language doesn’t mean replacing others but functioning as a global communication tool.
The 19th-century
During the 19th-century, a surprising number of international auxiliary languages bubbled up.
Louis Couturat and Léopold Leau reviewed at least 38 of these projects in Histoire de la langue universelle .
We wanted to narrow down our language choices and ended up with more than we bargained for.
We can be sure that the lack of a single international auxiliary language is not due to a lack of trying.
Esperanto
While we might all argue that our mother tongue is the most straightforward language globally, linguists might suggest that Esperanto holds the #1 spot.
Reportedly, you can learn Esperanto in only one-third to one-fifth of the time it would take to learn any other auxiliary language.
Even Duolingo has boarded the Esperanto bandwagon, providing the opportunity to learn this made-up language alongside some of the more traditional ones like:
Sadly, Esperanto still has not caught on.
We would be speaking it in airports instead of resorting to charades if it had.
English as a global language
Barring any international consensus on an auxiliary language, it looks like our society will continue to function according to the lingua franca paradigm for a while.
Nowadays, it appears that economic success determines what languages rise to prominence in the international realm.
This fact explains the modest boom that German has experienced in Europe.
Decades ago, schools taught French as a foreign language; nowadays, German has risen in popularity, a practical consequence of the changing economic tide.
But if you had to choose one, what would you say is the universal language?
Most people would say English.
If you live in any non-English-speaking European country, you’re probably familiar with the recent English craze.
Everyone wants to learn English for three main reasons:
This preference seems natural, considering that:
Proponents of the Basic English movement today have responded to this universal tendency by trying to adopt a neutral form of English for general use, one without regional differences or slang.
But is English the most effective choice for a global auxiliary language?
Some linguists point out that irregularities in spelling and pronunciation don’t make it a natural language to learn.
Yes, English has already gained a foothold, but would it be feasible to continue to spread it as the standard language throughout the world?
There is really no easy answer. But I am sure it will become the OFFICIAL language of the New World Order! In spite of lots of contradiction and various opinions against this.
Nevertheless, it does seem that English has become the de facto international auxiliary language—at least for the moment.
Is English experiencing its 15 minutes of fame as a universal language, or is it here to stay?
Only time will tell. In the meantime when Jesus Christ returns the world will speak ONLY ONE language and Jerusalem will become the capital of the world! Notice this; “Woe to her that is filthy and polluted (with 3 religious abominations on the Temple Mount; the Arab/Muslim Dome of the Rock, the Jewish Temple Wall and the Catholic Church of the Holy Sepulchre), to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice (of the LORD); she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. Her princes (and leaders) within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Her (so called) prophets are light and treacherous persons; her priests (modern day rabbis and highly orthodox Jews) have polluted the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law (of God) by secretly sacrificing a RED heifer recently. The just LORD is in the midst thereof (there have been various sightings of Jesus in Jerusalem recently); He will not do iniquity; every morning doth He bring His judgment to light, He faileth not; but the unjust (the EVIL, wicked and the perverse homosexual community there) knoweth NO SHAME! I have cut off the nations; their towers (like the tower of Babel in the past) are desolate; I made their streets waste (with the current Hamas/Israeli war), so that there is no man, that there is none inhabitant. I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their dwelling should not be cut off, however I punished them but they rose early, and corrupted ALL their doings. Therefore wait ye upon me (for His SOON COMING RETURN), saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up to the prey; for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even ALL my fierce anger; for ALL the earth shall be devoured with the (forest and wild) fire of my jealousy. For then will I turn to the people a PURE (ONE WORLD) language, that they may ALL call upon the name of the LORD, to serve Him with ONE consent.” Zephaniah 3;1-9. To Be Continued...
