Silver's article:"Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas." There are convergent pressures applied, by the mass media, as never before in history. I am acquiring some better grasp of Spanish right now. If I hired a housekeeper, Spanish is more likely than German for a medium of communication, so in the intermediate term, I think Spanish will spread more, over German, at least. (She may also have 5 kids.) The majority in the Americas speaks Spanish, I believe. Germans and Europeans, to their credit, contrary to your article, are commonly speaking accent-free "English". |
