Official Languages
1. Research the question, Should multilingual states adopt a single, official
language?
a. Think about India, Nigeria, Belgium, Switzerland and the United States
in your research.
In a basic sense, yes. By eliminating language barriers countries are more efficient
and productive. This allows better communication and globalization. Although it
reduces the language diversity and influences cultures to change creating an official
language is essential for developing a country. Until countries pick a language for
everyone to be able to communicate it will always be separated and unstable.
Peoples ideals will be in different directions and you cant move forward. There is no
substantial reason why people within a country should not all speak a language in
common.
