I think that the United States has a wide diversity of languages that are spoken here. I love the fact that I can be walking to class and here a group of Hmong speaking their language, or a few Hispanics speaking to each other. By national language I think like a language that everyone would know, everywhere! I think this would be very interesting and quite cool. But then their would be no desire or need to learn the different languages around the world because all anyone would need was the national language. And also how would we decide on a language..?? I love the fact that if you want to travel the world you have to learn a little about the people who call that certain place home before you can go there. I mean i guess you wouldn't really have to know the language but it would be very difficult to communicate with the people there. The idea of a national language would have to be thought over, deeply.
