Topic: ENGLISH LANGUAGE THE MOST POWERFUL LANGUAGE? (Read 609 times)
I do not think that English is the most powerful. It is simply more widespread and popular in many countries but not powerful at all.
English language is the most powerful language because,this language is very easy for all over the world and so the internationally recognizes the world.the language of english language is more than the language of the world.
English language is a universal language.
Language for everyone.
Language for everyone.
Everyones use english for communicate with the other
I believe English language is the most powerful language on earth. For all the crypto project i have come across, their first language is always English. Even some Africa francophone countries are now using English to teach in their schools, I want to think all FIFA referees understand English language. What do you think makes English very influential?
yes i agree you English is the most powerful language in this world because we can talk it in everywhere and everyone can talk it and understand it as well....
english is becoming the most powerful language because it is what the world is now using as a means of communicating with each other globally
I wouldn't say the most powerful, but it is widely spoken and understood. Personally I don't find it interesting enough. I would rather pick Spanish as an interesting language to learn and speak. My opinion
Although Chinese language is probably the most used language in the world given the fact that Chinese population reaches over 1,5 mld people, English language is not less powerful and I think every average educated person should know it. At least the basics.
It's not true that Chinese is the most used language in the world. It is very hard to estimate, of course, because you need to calculate it for all countries in the world. Wikipedia shows that there are 1.10 billion speakers of Mandarin, while there are 1.12 billion speakers of English. This is including native speakers and those who learned the languages later. If you only count native speakers, then English is in 3rd place. Spanish is in 2nd place and Mandarin is in 1st. Since Chinese is really only spoken in one country and a few other territories that China doesn't consider countries, that makes it less significant. Bengali is the 9th most spoken language in the world, for example, but it's only spoken in one very small region, so it is not so influential.
yes for me
English Language I think is powerful because it is the language where everyone in this world can somehow understand. Given that English Language is the universal language, it is set to be used in different transactions. Also here in our country having an English class is taught in almost 12 year of basic education. I think that makes the english language the most powerful one. The fact that it can be understood by a lot, it can be a bridge to differences of everyone
I believe that all languages are powerful. But,if the number of people speaking a language is the yardstick, then, by all means, English language is the most powerful. However, the foundation of this power is colonialism and oppression. English educational system and the accompanying English Language proliferated through British occupation of other countries.
I think it would be more appropriate if English is the language needed to connect all countries in the world. One factor is that English is easy to learn, not complicated. Certainly different from Mandarin, which has to use tones in pronunciation, it will be more difficult.

The English language isn't influential because of the language itself. The reason you see English in projects is due to the long stemmed influence from the west, and the history of british colonialism that attempted to strip away the native tongue of other cultures.
I would argue though that English does have some merits in an off itself. It is easier to learn than many of the other biggest languages. If it were more complicated, I don't think it would be as widespread.
The answer is simple: UK was a colonial empire in the 18th century. They forced other nations to learn English, so now everyone speaks it
Every school in every country all teaching English.
Yes because english is popular languages
Yeah i also believe that english most popular language compare to other language
I agree with you English are now popular and no 1 language in the world
Everyone learn English for all work
Everyone learn English for all work
Yes, that is correct, it might not be the number one on the ranking in term of number of people speaking it, but in term of popularity and the most widely speak language, it is English Language.
