The decline of French

J´habite a Paris. Je voudrais parler mieux le français parce que je parle tous les jours l´arabe. C´est aussi très important le wolof, l´anglais et l´espagnol.

A bientôt!!!

Guten Tag!! Here in Alsace (France) we prefer to speak in German because French is disgusting. We are like German people and we speak German, a language more important in Europe than French.

Auf Wiedersehen!!!

Spanish is the dirtiest language of all, spoken mostly by ugly Spics. No one else learns it because they know it's not a world language. The only reason it has spread this far is because the Spics are like smelly animals who can't help but have sex all day and breed like rabbits.

Oui, c'est vrai que le français est de moins en moins parler, même en France. L'anglais va remplacer le français comme langue officielle bientôt. C'est bien ça l'évolution de la langue "hexagonale".

Le français va disparaître, mais bon, c'est la vie !

So in what year is French expected to become defunct in the "Hexagon" (France)?

What about Arabic? Isn't Arabic spoken just as much as English in France?

English is not spoken at all in France. Only Arab and French, dude.

Ah oui, j'avoue que je n'avais pas pensé à ça : l'arabe.

There is an interesting comparison in this webpage:

List of countries by Human Development Index

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index

It is very interesting the top bottom. These are the ten countries less developed in the world. 7 of them are from French Africa. So, French language represents the poor countries, better than other languages.

167 Democratic Republic of the Congo[4] 0.391
168 Mozambique 0.390
169 Burundi 0.384
170 Ethiopia 0.371
171 Chad 0.368
172 Central African Republic 0.353
173 Guinea-Bissau 0.349
174 Burkina Faso 0.342
175 Mali 0.338
176 Sierra Leone 0.335
177 Niger



There are 63 countries with high human development. 9 of them speak Spanish: Spain, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Costa Rica, Cuba, Panama and 12% of USA (Hispanics). They represent 270 million people.


There are only 5 French countries: France, 23% of Canada, 40% of Belgium, 23% of Switzerland and Luxembourg. They represent 76 million people.


In conclusion, Spanish language is more powerful that French in a lot of points (economical power is another one).

Whether French will be spoken by most people or not, I really don't think it counts for much when it comes to the factor of population, in fact it is a very simple answer, France correspondingly has greater importance in many respects than Spanish does, One France is absolutely enough for many people to learn French, instead of Spanish......
