        @rebekahabrown @WSJ The real question is will Midvalley-ese survive Mak. Not to worry for you, though, being fluent in both.

        @WSJ Is this supposed to be a bad thing? Means more people can more easily communicate with others.

        @WSJ in reality, anything is possible. It's possible we have 5,999 languages. It's also possible we have 400. Purely speculative.

        @WSJ the language with all kinds of expressions and feelings will dominate the world. And that should be compatible with technology.

        @WSJ Makes sense. Technology making the world smaller. Communication and understanding essential in this environment.

        @WSJ Unfortunately, not many, if any, of the 600 languages that may survive, will be African. Indeed, power is not the same as leadership!
