English is the most successful language in the history of the world. It's spoken on every continent. It's learned as a second language by school children everywhere, and of course it's the language of science of global business and of popular culture. No other language in history has had an impact anything like this so, it's not really surprising that lots of people think English will continue to spread successfully without any end but, academic Nicholas also suggests that if you use will fade. His reason is that it's possible up to one billion people speak English worldwide but only about three hundred and thirty million of them speak it is the first language in this population isn't spreading. So the future of English depends on non English speaking countries and because those countries are unlikely to making this one of their national languages the use of it in the world language will start to disappear. He doesn't think that another language will replace it though. He believes that technology like computer translation in speech recognition will replace it instead.
