There were many lingua francas of which French was supposedly the first global lingua franca. That changed and it became English (from what I understand). We will probably see another language become the lingua franca, so my question is: should it be English? Are there better candidates out there? Why / why not?

    Every ‘real’ languare has wild parts. there are constructed languares that don’t but if they became common wild parts will likely be added over time.

      Yep. I always liked the idea of a conlang, but there’s nothing stopping language change with them.
