If the aliens form proxima centauri will conquer to us tomorrow, then their language will be the world language!
Asian languages
"Asian languages will be only important in their regional spheres of influence, but not everywhere....I think that only English, Spanish and French can be considered World languages."
Don't forget that english has become very quickly a world language after the WWII, with the american power. English was before rather a regional language, even during the victorian era, because rarely used as an international language.
So, the same could arrive with chinese, or not.

I quite agree that modern Chinese is shitty.
And Mandarin is shitty too.
And Mandarin is shitty too.
Three of the four tones in Mandarin are in the high pitch range. That makes you sounds gay. No offense. And they love adding r at the back of a word. That makes them gayer.

The aliens in "Avatar" live on a moon that orbits a Saturn size planet which in turn orbits Alpha A Centauri, not Proxima Centauri which are both suppose to be part of the same multi-star system. I doubt that the language used by the aliens in "Avatar" will become a world language.
Actually, it is more likely that there are aliens on a planet that orbits
Alpha B Centauri rather than Alpha A Centauri or Proxima Centauri.

Yes, but the girls sound, oh so melodically sexy ...
Specially when you're pounding them from behind.
Japanese also.
Vietnamese, not so.

I think it should be a forum rule that you cant post loads of shitty examples on a subject nobody but you gives a fuck about.
Oh and Chinese women are way inferior to Vietnamese women, and I've banged both so I would know.

William, I didn't have Avatar in mind as I posted. There are other SF universes as well, mind you! I also could have said '''the green people form Mars'', but as far as is known upto now, Mars is uninhabited. English is now the world language for many reasons, but if e.g. aliens would come form the stars, their language would be most important for our future, if we aren't instantly iradicated.

Chinese is a language that needs to be learned using the right hemisphere, as opposed to English, which is left-brainish (but highly right-wingish) >
"Chinese character" is a kind of "logogram" that needs to be learned using the right hemisphere, as opposed to "English alphabet" (a kind of letter), which is left-brainish.
Chinese character (logogram) and Chinese (Mandarin language) are two very different matters.
You learned Chinese character (logogram) that need to use the right hemisphere. But, when you learned Mandarin language that you may be use left hemisphere (if Written Mandarin using Latin letter), or right hemisphere (if Written Mandarin using Chinese character).
The English language also can be used the Chinese character (logogram) in Written form (using right hemisphere) as like as the Japanese, or English alphabet (Latin letter) in Written form (using left hemisphere).
