I AGREE WITH BOTH RAM DA'S AND DILIP DA'S VIEWS ABOUT ENGLISH........ MAYUR BORA JORHAT First, I'd like to correct a mistake in spelling in the phrase/sentence, " Top 10 Most Spoken Languages In The World, English loosing it's dominance???" ..... It is not "loosing" but "losing". Very common mistake. Now to the main Subject of discussion - Did you read the report that EU is about
to accept English as their official language if they make some changes in their spelling. Was that a stunt? Anybody knows?

Interesting. IMHO, English is dominant even today, not so much by the number of 'native' speakers, but more so by the number of people(whose mother tongue in not English) speaking it. Somehow, English is more embracing. The language seems to also has the infinite capacity to grow, and evolve and adjust to the times as opposed to any other language on earth. I feel English is going to be the leading language for the long haul. --Ram On Sun, Jan 16, 2011 at 9:38 AM, Pradip Kumar Datta <[email protected]>wrote: > Top Most Spoken Languages In The World > India's Hindustani and Bengali are in Top 10. > > 10.
