Don’t you ever wonder why we don’t have one international language? I mean, all these languages in an era that claims to be globalized… seems kinda silly. And it’s gotta be a great source for misunderstandings.
The kids asked if sign language was universal. I didn’t know… but it got my hopes up. I mean, sign language is a relatively new entry in the game… maybe they thought ahead. I checked. Nope, there’s even more than thirty different sign languages… really.
I’m not saying that we should all learn ONLY the same language… you could certainly keep your native language. And I wouldn’t even care which language is chosen. Just as long as we all have one in common.
Here’s the current breakdown. Thirty eight percent of the world speaks nine different languages… Chinese being the most common (more than twice as common as English). Sixty-two percent of the population speaks different languages.
Anyway… here’s last nights sunset.
