Default Re: Linguistic Predictions

The vicious Circle
But Tdol how can you say such a thing. After all anything living is destined to change otherwise it's dead. It's a law of nature and there is no escape.

However, I agree with you if you mean it won't change at the same pace as before. The wheels of change will slow down due to the dominance of written communication over spoken communication. On the other hand people of different nationalities speaking only English will definitely shape it according to their needs, habits and articulation practices. Will the vicious circle come back?

Jamshid
