Good meme. Could only happen if the US were so invaded by Latinos that Spanish became the lingua franca of the US.

Other than that, Spanish is not more likely than Portuguese, Hindi or Arabic.

Anglos will never accept it (be it globish, simplified English...), and will keep on using colloquialisms, loanwords, etc. on purpose.

They'll disappear into irrelevancy with their non-simplified language.

I agree with you. It will be Mandarin, the Chinese common language, Pekingese.

Chinese people never stop speaking Chinese no matter which country they go to.
Chinese people never stop speaking Chinese no matter how many years they spend in other country.
Chinese people speak very loudly, and
Chinese has already been the language that a quarter of the world population speak.

Soon, the world will be filled up with Chinese.
We will have to adapt to it.

I disagree with the premise.

A yet-to-be-invented symbolic programming language will replace Americanese as the "world's language" when humanity is comprise primarily of cyborgs.

Seriously, I think the notion of "world language" will become irrelevant, once automatic translation in real time will be possible technologically.

Learning languages will become as useless, as ancient as learning sacred texts and epic poems by heart (back when writing didn't exist).

I don't even like using the English language too much, but we're likely not getting off this ride any soon. I think that English will remain the principal human language for centuries or even millennia extending into the future, and whatever language shall manage to supplant it will be tainted by English as well.

No idea what kind of language that would be so I'm just gonna say Russian.

Tbh, that's only from the economic aspect. I mean, the only people that would be required to learn chinese would be the ones doing business with them, and the number of those isn't that high.

The main reason why english is so dominant is because of the culture factor. Tv shows, movies, food, clothes, comercials, youtube videos, music etc etc.

We are stuck with english for a while.

If China soft-power dramatically increase maybe mandarin in a long-while.

If somehow spanish become the dominant language in the USA, maybe spainish.

If Africa become a gloriously powerful continent in a few hundreds years maybe french.

If Russia nuke the world and the USA do nothing about it maybe Russian.

If Germany can impose German to the european union and then become a true global power maybe german.

But yea all these scenarios are almost impossible so we are stuck with english.

No, it's a playful transliteration of мaнямиpoк (probably more properly мaня-миpoк), a sosach (2ch) meme used to suggest that ones opponent has an erroneous view; i.e. lives in his "little world" (миpoк). Maня is a generic insult, also from imageboard culture, ultimately from the movie Bespredel.

The fact that no non-Russian knows what the hell "manyamiroque" means does not bode well for the Russian language's future.

But I count on English-speaking engineers to send the English language into irrelevance.

Any "lingua franca" (including French) is vile and dangerous by the way, being nothing more than a tool of imperialism.

Also French has never been the "lingua franca" out of aristocratic circles. And even among them, Latin was more known than French.
