Some believe that we should invent a new language for international communication.
Do the advantages of this outweigh the disadvantages?
As we are living in a globalized society, some people insist that there should be a new language for international communication. It might have some beneficial effects since the misunderstanding between the two countries could be eradicated. However, I firmly believe that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
First of all, if a universal language is used in many nations, that means their own languages can be forgotten in the long term. Losing a language can directly be related to losing its culture, which is one nation’s identity. Moreover, sharing one language with other countries can make each country less unique since they become similar. In other words, it could be detrimental to the tourism industry because people have no reason to travel if countries are similar. It is true that people choose to visit other countries to feel the exotic atmosphere.
Furthermore, inventing a new language does not actually alleviate the conflict between countries. Nowadays, there are hundreds of talented translators in the world and even a computer translating program is developing continuously. It could be a waste of money since the international conflicts do not happen due to the misunderstanding. It is better to invest the money on real problems rather than making a new international language, which probably needs a hefty amount of money.
To sum up, some people say the inventing a new international language has numerous benefits. However, I consider that disadvantages outweigh the advantages since the new language is not an actual key for world peace and it might destroy one’s unique culture.
