I often feel confused by so many Guests here lol.

A bit different, though. In the Americas, almost all the dominant languages are European, and Spanish isn't at all dominant in ALL of the Latin American parts. Then, "China" is surrounded by a dozen of languages of diverse background, and Asia is the most populous and everything is "very" diverse. While I can "safely" say Asian languages are very diverse and hopefully won't show signs of decline or getting homogeneous, it is the Asian peoples that are learning European languages (English + anyone they might be interested in for whatever reasons). There are far more nations and peoples who regard European ones as official/native languages.

I think that the only language which has certain opportunities to become strong in Asia appart from English is Spanish if it is successfully reintroduced in Philippines. At least the president of this country has the intention of doing so.
