There will be no official language unless there is some apocalyptic scenario in which all would have to adapt to the most commonly spoken language. Most common langauges are Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, English, Hindi and Arabic.

He said English not Murican.

Murican is English. You British speak a bastardized language that shares some similarities with English. We taught you people our language when Christopher Columbus left New York to explore the unknown continent of Europe.

Numbers...just numbers...just because they have babies every second of the day doesn't mean its the most popular and or will be used forever.

Plus we're most likely going to war with them soon anyways...extinction goes the "Uzumaki" or Uchiha.

Well it's popularity doesn't change the fact that It's the most spoken language, and even if we go in "war" with them how could you possibly know if we're going to win? In war people can never expect the outcome

Is that before or after George Washington used the TARDIS to go through to time to slay the Jabberwock and save Narnia?

After. How could CC go to Europe if the Jabberwock still ruled Narnia?

does that suppose to excuse something? Lol

Yes, it means the language is only spoken by a bunch of Chinese in one country. Outside of China, you're more likely to run into someone who knows English than Chinese.

Actually, maybe. I was in my country
country, which is the 8th most populous country in the world, 2 years ago and most of the natives knew English as a second language. So yep, it possible. You can even tell foreign music and media use it sometimes.

Mandarin is the most spoken language. China is #1 right now in terms of economical power. Other countries will never let their own languages die. So, not any time soon ?

Never. There will always be people who reject assimilation of language and stick to their native, non-English language(s).
