How is that connected to me telling someone that Arabic shouldn't be the language of a global government?

And if it was?

And you were right the first time. It is night.

We ask them if they would like to join our Glorious Federation.

[Blakk Metal]

Rome was worse than Sodom.

Sodom never existed. That makes Rome better by default.

I'm pretty sure you've got the point.

Just read the novels We by Eugene Zamiatin or Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. All hail the World State! You have no alternative!

Why does everyone assume that the World Government would be authoritarian in nature?

Because it is scarier, since you can't escape. Also, a dictatorship is inevitable.

A world government could be libertarian in the short run. However, if it were to gradually become authoritarian, there would be no escape, and no comparison that one could make to other societies. This would only encourage authoritarianism.

Right, and then come the mass riots, armed rebellion and assassinations.

[citation needed]

Yes, that's why there are authoritarian nations on this utopic planet of ours.

Yes and look at how unstable they are.

Because of nearby nations and the resultant cultural contamination and need for technology.

Yes you can, the UN is based on the principle of nations under a single centralized body trying to work together and failing. This is contrary to World Federalist movements.

The UN has no authority. A world government would.

Which would be worse.

If a world government like this came into existence, then I think Arabic should be made the lingua franca. It is the most superior language on Earth and has incredible comprehensiveness unmatched by any language. It can also easily absorb the culture and concepts of other peoples, so it wouldn't leave people out.

No.

Why not? Are you prejudiced. I'm not suggesting that Arabic is made humanity's onky language. Just the world's major lingua franca. Linguistically speaking, it is superior because it is so comptehensive in its meaning, and its depth. It can also be kh earned quite quickly because most of the meanings in Arabic aee non wird. For examp kick e, you can say Zayd hit Amr in 6 ways without changing any of the words. For example one word istansaroo, means an entire sentence (they sought help).although it is difficult to explain without the arabi here, basically each lettet and viwel in that word corresponds to a meaning. Isn't tgat incredible. In English ou would gave to say 'They sought help and specify they were males. But in Arabic, it soecifies between a male ans f mn a female mn e they if that makes sense. Basically those three english words equalled one arabic word. And still, just just one letter or vowel and you can change who it is that is seeking help. This is why linguists the world over have said Arabic is the most superior language on the face of the Earth. I'm not even Arab, so I'm not being biased!

Repeat after me:

No. English is widely spoken and is the go-to language for business and trade. It's relatively simple and helps native speakers branch off into other languages.

[The Calldari State]

I'd totally support a United Earth Government.

I dream of a day when all of humanity stands united under one banner, and despite our differences we shall have no problem referring to each other as friends and neighbors. But sadly, that will never happen, at least not within my lifetime or probably even in my great-great-grand-children's lifetimes.

....now I'm sad

[Betalia]

The likelihood of one Earth Government is very very low. Will there be much more integration and cooperation between nations in the future? definitely. Will there be one government for earth? Highly unlikely. We have too many differences as a global society at the moment to Federate into one nation.

[Distruzio]

I will try to keep religious discussion to a minimum in this thread, but my faith teaches that there will be a one world government ran by the Antichrist. I think at first it would be effecient, then leads to destruction.

My faith teaches that one world State will, itself, BE the Anti-Christ.

Although this is largely my own interpretation of Orthodoxy being incorporated with my political-economic-social worldview and should not be considered the overarching view of Orthodox Christians.

[Scrooge Mc Duck Company]

If one should be one World Language, it should be Ancient Greek, or something else ancient and difficult. I read from some one about German for example be a more "efficient" (that is how he called it) better than English. But they are basicaly dialects-languages from one main one: Latin. A language that was influenced mostly by Greek and other ones. Try learning something unique and hard like Chinese or Basque. Leave all those bullsh*t languages aside. Not mind speaking Sumerian too.

But I agree in the first place that only Space Exploration Era will move nations towards each other. When the existance of a global organization that will exploit global resources to fund and support those missions will be necessery.

German is not a dialect of Latin. Romance languages (Latin & it's descendants) & Germanic languages are two different language families.

Why would you intentionally want the international auxiliary language to be a difficult or rare language? Surely it would be better to choose a simple language so that it can be quickly learned by everyone & easily adopted.

[Scrooge Mc Duck Company]

German is not a dialect of Latin. Romance languages (Latin & it's descendants) & Germanic languages are two different language families.

Last i read, "good" for English was "gut" for German and "Dictatorship" (the "ship" part always seemed irrelevant for me-why should be there? as for friendship...wierd...) was "Diktatur".

Why would you intentionally want the international auxiliary language to be a difficult or rare language? Surely it would be better to choose a simple language so that it can be quickly learned by everyone & easily adopted.

Because if languages evolve together with human brain (and therefore civilization), the daily use of a more difficult (and so, more evolved) language is essential.

The Greek Language contains the most words than any other language in the world, except perhaps, the Chinese.

"May the Greek language become common of all people."
~Voltaire

"If the gods speak, then they use the language of the Greeks."
~Tyllios Marcus Cicero (the most distinguished man of ancient Rome, 106-43 BC)

"Apart from the Chinese and Japanese, all other languages ​​were formed under the influence of Greek, from which they got, except for number of words, rules and grammar."
~Martin Heidegger (German philosopher of the main representatives of Existentialism in the 20th century)

The French professor at the University of Sorbonne Foriel Charles said, "The Greek has homogeneity as the German, but it is richer than that. It has the clarity of the French, but has higher precision. It is slimmer than the Italian and much more harmonious than Spanish. Is that what it takes to be considered the most beautiful language of Europe. "

"The Greek language is the best legacy that is available to man for the advancement of his brain. Across all the Greek and insist all languages ​​are inadequate. "

"Ancient Greek language has become the second language of all Europeans, especially the cultivated people."

"The Greek language is of divine essence."
~Frederick Sagredo (Basque linguistics professor - President of the Greek Academy of Baskonia)

"I wanted everything with passion to learn Greek. I did not do that because fossomoun ssatheia charm of this wonderful language would absorb so much to remove me from my other activities. "(Schliemann spoke 18 languages ​​seamlessly. 2 years for doing nothing other than to study the 2 epics of Homer).
~Heinrich Schliemann (famous amateur archaeologist, 1822-1890)

"Ancient Greek language was and is superior to all old and new languages."
~Michael Ventris (The man who helped decipher the Linear B)

"The Greek language is the past of Europeans."
~Bruno Snell (Distinguished Professor, University of Hamburg)

"I listened to St. Peter's in Rome, the Gospel in all languages. The Greek resonated star shining in the night. "

Goethe's dialogue with his students:

-"Master-what should we read to become wise like you?"
-"Greek classics."
-"And when we finish the Greek classics what will we read?"
-"Again Greek classics."
~Johann Goethe (The greatest poet of Germany, 1749-1832)

So how does the Greek Language connect to the Basq language?

[Conscentia]

Last i read, "good" for English was "gut" for German and "Dictatorship" (the "ship" part always seemed irrelevant for me-why should be there? as for friendship...wierd...) was "Diktatur"

That would be because English is a germanic language, not a romance language. It evolved from Old English, which is a west germanic language influenced by Old Norse (a north germanic language).
Norman & French influence have since added much romance influence to English as the language evolved.

Because if languages evolve together with human brain (and therefore civilization), the daily use of a more difficult (and so, more evolved) language is essential.

I disagree. Ambiguity, illogic, & difficulty are neither necessary nor desirable.

The Greek Language contains the most words than any other language in the world, except perhaps, the Chinese.

How is that relevant?

So how does the Greek Language connect to the Basq language?

It doesn't, Euskara isn't an Indo-European language.

So how does the Greek Language connect to the Basq language?

I hardly think so. There are no evidence about it. Basque has its own unique identity. Which is also intriguing. But I persist that Ancient Greek are superior.

Don't be absurd. There is no language more accurate and rich than Ancient Greek in Europe, and hardly is to the world. To those who dare say that I only say this: imagine the huge amount of words in Greek against any other language. You better do some more research.

Lojban is a constructed language specifically designed to be unambiguous & logical. It's also designed to remove the restrictions which language can place on thought. I would argue that it is far more accurate than Ancient Greek.
I also question why you think that Ancient Greek is so accurate & rich in comparison to other languages.

It means it's richer and more accurate, as I explained.

More words does not necessarily mean more accurate.
And I don't recall you explaining why you think the bigger the vocabulary the more advanced the language.
And what exactly do you mean by rich anyway?
