GLOBAL LANGUAGE

     I want to explain my opinions about global language.  I will cover what global language is and its reasons and consequences. There are several reasons that trigger need for a global language. In addition to this, global language has some striking effects on people from different nations.

     Firstly, I will try to explain the term of globalizatation. Globalization is a political, technological, economical and sociocultural aspect. It has diminished national borders and increased international trade and developed information exchange in communication, computer technologies and transportation system. The developments in these fields accelerated the formation of global village. International relations and interactions have increased. As aresult of all these developments, the world has turned into a global village. During this globalization process, people needed for a common language to communicate.

     

         Every language has a potential to become a global language , but only some of languages were able to be succesful. Some global languages like English, Spanish, French and Arabic have a lot of speakers from several countries. You can wonder its reason , and I will try to explain you the reason of this situation. As I said, every language has a potential to become a global language, but its owner has to have some properties. The owner should be very powerful and wealthy with respect to other countries. It should dominate theother nations and countries. Shortly, if you are strong, people will speak your language.

      English is one of the most common languages all over the world. Its non-native speakers outnumber its native speakers. It has nearly two billions speaker throughout the world. There are several reasons that triggered English to become a global language. These reasons are; two world wars, colonialism, industrial revolution, popular culture and finally mass media. All these are the main reasons of English’s being a global language. Now English is spoken for several reasons. It is used for industrial, occupational, educational, commercial, official and institutional reasons.

There are arguments about global language. Some people support it , and some others do not approve global language. I think that we should have a global language because we live in a global language. We e need a global language to communicate with people from other countries. We need a global language for harmony of the world. Although a lot of people think in this way, there are arguments about which language should be global language.
