Languages

[Symmachos-ZEUS/SHAITAN]

I have always had a passion for sea travel and the idea of knowing all the languages of the world. Even dialects. As a child, I visited Italian cities just to learn the local dialects. I wanted to ask, with the new Golden Age, will modern languages be maintained or replaced with a more powerful language (Sanskrit, Greek, Egyptian, Sumerian, etc.)?

If society transforms into a unified whole comprising of all the nations of the world (and it should given enough time) the languages and cultures of different peoples will be preserved but there will be a need for a lingua franca and it might not be english.

This can perhaps be something like the failed attempts to introduce artificially constructed languages like esperanto or similar projects or it can have a natural genesis from the most commonly used ones that over time fuse giving birth to a new language.

I doubt that any of the ancient languages will make a come back mostly due to practicality and because they're tied to a culture that's no longer present, then again I could be wrong.

Interesting topic for further reflection.

Someone has to speak out this. Turkish is the most beautiful language in the world. There is no top for it after this.

You should come here and be my guest and then you won't want to leave.

I agree with you, I have always admired multilingual people. Actually I am working on it but I have a limit, it is difficult for me to speak a language without going and living there because my language is read as it is written. Unlike yours.

I don't believe that ancient languages will come back because we are not in the right age for that. Language is social and must be preserved to the last detail. That's why I don't accept the idea of a common language for the whole world. Culture must be preserved.

But if everyone agrees to speak Turkish, why not... lol

Thank you for bringing this up.

In my opinion there would be local languages, a lingua franca AKA a business / world language, and a language for religion / AKA the language of Zevists which would be probably Ancient Greek.
Lingua Franca can well stay English, especially that the whole ToZ was written in it, and it's just everywhere, I don't think it's mandatory to change this. There can be changes made to English such as spelling but yeah, It's a good world language I suppose.

Kind of like how spiritual language becomes the property of elite contexts for people who really are initiated to a spiritual path and instead the rest of the vulgar people study the same languages as always? You know that's what I was thinking too? I share at the level of opinion, then I don't know what the Gods will do. However, it would be nice if this was realized in this way.

Maybe for certain White Zevists, but Asian Zevists would (and should) likely be Sanskrit or Chinese which completely aligns with how Asia was literally split between Indian or Chinese and under a name that would be a Chinese equivalent to "Zev", likely the Taoist Hexagram "Bi" (比) which means "Union" or another appropriate name.

I don't see a single a reason why countries like Vietnam, Japan, the Korean Peninsula would be using Koine (or any form of Greek) since all their religious were literal imports of Chinese paganism and using Literary Chinese for all of their works.

Even Slavic Zevists would have their own linguistic tradition, would probably be Old Slavonic instead.

A language is a language but anybody can speak it and ever race, and all the sub-races underneath had a main language of political and religious prestige. This isn't mean to be exhaustive, I'm not an expert at every race:

Asian Zevists: Mandarin Chinese for daily use, Classical and Zhou Chinese for religious uses (China, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Vietnam), Old Turkic (Central Asia and Mongolia), Malay (Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Brunei, East Timor)

White Zevists: Russian for bussiness & Church Slavonic for religious (Russia, Ukraine, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and etc.), German and Norse (for Central/Northern Europe), Latin (for Romance speakers), Aramaic (Middle Eastern)

Black Zevists: Egyptian (Nile River and Libya)....that's all I can say because Black civilization isn't in my forte

It'd be really cool if Ancient Greek gets revived. Seeing the Greek translations makes me want to learn Greek although I know it's changed a lot from its ancient version.

A.I. will likely solidify English as the predominant world language, since they are trained by feeding it information from the Internet which is mostly in English. And the A.I. will build upon itself with more people using it who will also likely do so in English, thus accelerating the trend... it'd be too costly at that point to abandon.

Plus, it's a retardedly easy language to pick-up and use compared to the complex phonetics and syntax found in other languages, and it's known all over the world already due to the British Empire and American Mass Media.

I don't really see a "convenient" or beneficial reason for it to change tbh.

You're probably right, it makes sense. I was merely stating the possibility that over enough time things could change in unforseen ways, resulting in some other language rising to dominance.
