True, but so are almost all other languages. The main difference is that English hides it less well than most.

That, too, is nothing unique to English. it's a fundamental feature of all languages - some might say, of language itself.

"How and when did language get to be so smart. It knows all the meanings the human race has infused in its daily words; keeps track of origins and changes; even retains what we've long since forgotten just in case. All the names of people, places and things are retained in memory storage as words... along with most all complex knowledge and intricate memories (except those related primarily to our senses of sight, touch and smell) are also retained forever within our souls thanks to mere words. Hmm..." -op

Initial post offers no bouquets in praise of English or any other ancient or current language, though some may merit it more than others. Tim merely illustrates/celebrates the universality of the intelligence of language as being present in his own mother tongue.

Is this a preposition for non-English lingos to become defunct and lose their own values?

It's apparent on many websites, the majority in fact, that the controlling asset of lingo is English, solely and primarily.

If this is really the scenario, and for me to comment after I have been asking for Thai and Asian languages for 4 years at RHP, then I shall laugh when Chinese takes over. If you think all Chinese and Asian countries are going to committ to writing and speaking only English on the internet then all beware. For when they take the finances of the internet providers in hand, and they have 3 Billion users at hand, then then see the value of your language demerited and burned to a cinder.

It is exactly the opposite, in protest against the tendency of native (and typically monolingual, if that much) speakers of English to believe their language is unique in all aspects. English is just one language amongst thousands, and long may she stay that way.

Sure.
