Is French on the decline
Hi, Hispanic Fanatic and Kisser of Anglo and Sino Asses!
In Postal Union, English was added as a working language of the International Bureau in 1994 BUT NOT AS OFFICIAL.
Simultaneous interpretation and UPU documents are provided in Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian too, BUT NOT OFFICIAL.
In ILO JUST French IS official languages, AND ENGLISH AND HISPANIC ARE JUST WORKING LANGUAGE, mi Fanatico amigo!
PD. In ALL (I repeat ALL) World organizations, English and French are official-working languages, or at least, translated in all meetings and documents not your Spanish.
Arabic, Russian, Chinese are also used in almost all organizations. German and Portuguese are also used in a lot of them.
So, the last field where French WAS important, there are other 5-7 languages that you can use.
Stop being ridiculous, fanatic, and BOBO because we're talking about official language here not working language, please!
THE TROUBLE WITH YOU IS EVERYTIME SOMEBODY POSTS FACTS ABOUT FRENCH IS YOU GET ENVY BECAUSE SPANISH DOESN'T HAVE THAT STATUS AND YOU WOULD USE ENGLISH AND CHINESE TO OFFSET FACTS ABOUT FRENCH JUST BECAUSE YOU CANNOT PRESENT A EVIDENCE OR LINK TO SUPPORT THAT SPANISH HAS THE SAME STATUS.
LOOK, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE SCHIZOPHRENIC AND OBSESSED ABOUT SPANISH. IF YOU WANT YOU CAN DECLARE THAT SPANISH IS NUMBER ONE WORLD LANGUAGE AND MUCH GREATER THAN FRENCH, RUSSIAN, OR GERMAN BUT ONLY IN YOUR MIND AND PLEASE DON'T DRAG OTHERS TO HAVE THAT KIND OF PSYCHE BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE ARE REALISTIC AND NOT CRAZY AND GOES LOCO WHEN IT COMES TO SPANISH LIKE YOU!
<< What's 'French'? Never heard of it, is it a tribal language of Papua New Guinea? >>
No, all I know is Hiri-Motu is the tribal language of the hispanics(criollos and mestizos) in the entire Hispanic America.
French is the only official language of the following organizations:
1. Organisation Internationale du Travail/International Labor Organization
2. Organisation Conjointe de Coopération en Matière d'armement/Organization for Joint Armaments Cooperation
3. Union Postale Universelle/Universal Postal Union
and
4. Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Without_Borders
The tag "Without Borders" shows how influential the French speaking world is.
In translation, French is second only English.
Examples:
French to English, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, and Greek and back.
Portuguese, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, and Greek have just translation to English and French and back.
English to French, Portuguese, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, has the most languages.

This only shows that English and French are the languages where most articles are translated into and from.
The fact we are having this discussion in English proves French is intranscendental.
The fact we are having this discussion in English proves that Spanish is not only intranscendental but very irrelevant.
Imagine a ??world language?? with huge number of native speakers is rendered INUTILE because of quite a few non-hispanics speak and study it stemming from the fact that nothing can be gained from the Spanish speaking world especially in the fields of science, medicine, arts, technology, literature, education, etc.
The hispanic fanatics have lost the argument. That's why their using English as a tactic to get even something like to save their faces from the embarassment for posting false information is 2nd to English.

According to all experts in languages (and I think they are not SCHIZOPHRENIC AND OBSESSED), English, Spanish and Chinese are the languages of the future.
<<A multi-lingual population is already the case in much of the world and is becoming more common in the United States. Indeed, the Census Bureau reported last year that nearly one American in five speaks a language other than English at home, with SPANISH leading, and CHINESE growing fast.>>

There is a prediction of global influence of several key languages, like Chinese, English and Spanish.
The Hooke Model forecasts that by 2010 the languages in greatest demand by students will be English, Chinese and Spanish.
There will be more languages in the top layer: Chinese, Spanish, Hindi and Arabic may join English. French and other languages (German, Japanese) are likely decline in status (page 59)
The future of English? David Graddol

Besides, English, Spanish and Chinese are the languages most useful in Internet, and the most spoken Worldwide.

PD. Hispanics ONLY say that Spanish (and other languages) are, at least, so important than French, and nowadays it is obvious...

Shut up and just look at the table in this site and you'd see under the column number of official languages 1 and no English, Spanish, etc. That means only French.

Expert? They're hust look on the number of native speakers not on the number of non-native or secondary speakers.
FRENCH THE NEXT WORLD LANGUAGE
French language alive and kicking by/from Jeffery Simpson ChronicleHerald-Vive le francais- According to Jean-Benoit Nadeau and Julie Barlow, the language is alive and flourishing. “English Canadians — and actually all English speakers — are probably most surprised to hear that, far from declining, French is thriving,” Barlow said in a recent e-mail interview. “Today, there are 180 million French speakers in the world, more than there ever have been.” The couple has produced in The Story of French a journalistic work that explores how the language has held its own against English in terms of global influence. For instance, the number of French speakers has kept pace with global population growth, tripling during the past 50 years. IT'S THE WORLD'S SECOND INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE and the official tongue in 33 countries, compared with 45 for English. “Some linguists claim that half of English vocabulary comes from French — words as varied as strive, pedigree, war, catch, chase, pledge, challenge,” Barlow says. “At any rate, some of the prestige French enjoys in English-speaking culture definitely comes from this history. “The result is that today, to a certain extent, as English sweeps the planet, it’s carrying French with it.” “By our estimates, the more educated those countries get, the more francophone they will become,” she said.
At one point the French tried to make French the official language of the internet. French is a great language to learn and appartently not going away anytime soon.

Oh Chinese and SDpanish spoken by so little non-chinese/hispanics Hindi which is subordinate to English, will be a very important languages. They will be world lingua France but only in your mind.

You're bragging about those organization, well French is official too in those organizations.
Go take a look at this link and you'd find out that Spanish is not offical on more than half of the international organization.

Hahaha. Spanish, Chinese, and Hindi will never achieved 1/8 of what French achieved. Spanish remains submerged and rapidly disintigrating into many variants that would end up as a MACRO-LANGUAGE.
Yes, Spanish is the language of the future, the MACRO-LANGUAGE of the future.
Hey ever lying hispanic fanatic, do you feel happy if you post information like Spanish is the official language of Médecins Sans Frontières when it's actually French and founded by them?
Are you living in a world full of lies just like your head full of lice?
The European Commission, conducts its internal business in three languages, English, French and German. So there's no reason that Spanish is as important as these languages in Europe.
The Secretariat uses two working languages, English and French. Aside from France, Canada, Belgium, Switzerland, and Francophone Africa other countries such as Romania, Moldova, Bulgaria, Poland, Greece, Albania, Serbia, adn other E. European countries use French in international diplomacy.

This thread is eighteen pages long so far, mostly in English. The more you people argue about Spanish and French respective dominance, the more fluent your English will get. There is a positive side to this bickering.
