Rivoluzione linguistica dell’Europa, ora più visibile che mai

Go go English … East European countries are most prone to have English as a backup language. The Nordic countries all have English as backup, and west Europe is close by with a few exceptions.

Seems like this has a natural progression towards the general use of the English language.

Brain drain is the main danger when a country insist that you learn local language while your englando is c3 level.
Yes there is a negative side but most negative trend is that english speaking talent would be drawn to english speaking countries.
And for someone like me,eastern european who speaks 7 languages but english is my second one;what is motivation to learn another
language except risking looming burnout 🤷‍♂️

This is a step in the right direction, however the biggest issue is the level of English taugh in schools here in Lithuania. By the time people finish high school, even those who have had high grades are often unable to actually speak English. The fault does not lie with students or even teachers, the reality is that we do not speak English here and 45 minutes a day (a lesson/period at school) is nowhere near enough to learn and practise another language.

The issue number 2 is that, for example in my town whenever I am out I hear even young people speak russian, people whos grandparents were born in this country and after 3 generations they still refuse to integrate into our society.

what a joke

If we all must use this language, we should at least name it “Irish”.

English is useful in international stuff but i fear that insisting on english internationally will weaken the local language.

Alot of belgian languages and variations died because of the insistence of the state to standardize, which economically is amazing but culturally its very bad.

Of cource english is way bigger than any other language in the EU. 47% of the people know it enough to speak even if not perfect. Of cource the Nordics, the Netherlands and Cyprus are by far the ones except for Ireland and Malta that speaks it most but even the EU countries with the least english ability (15-16%) is close to the overall EU population that understands German (22%), French (20%) or Spanish (15%). That more than half of these second to fourth most understood languages in the EU are so by native speeking populations, and that more than 7/10 in the age group 16-24 in the EU overall understand english, does of cource make it the only viabel language to ever having the chance to be more pan EU spoken. Some languages has even lost speakers through time. In a few years Spanish will be the second most understood language in the EU outside german- and french native speeking countries as it’s by far the most popular language to study after english by non native speakers among young EU citizens today.

I suspect a European english might end up developing, having worked with a few people who’s first language was not english, there seems to be a few common ‘mistakes’ that are made when speaking.
So the main thing I expect to happen is the remaining irregular verbs to disappear from this European english, not sure how spelling will be affected.

Im happy that Polish is still perfectly safe language and i pitty countries like iceland where young people dont even properly know their own language and use english half the time even if they talk with other icelandic speakers.

Would it be too hard to make European English official?
