    one language?

    Laughs in Castellano, Catalán, Valenciano, Galecian, Aranese Occitan.

    Seriously though, Dictator Franco tried to quash all the regional languages and only make Spanish the ‘one’ language… didn’t work and won’t ever work.

      Didn’t say it would happen tomorrow.

      Nothing wrong with regional dialects or even languages, like we have with Welsh in UK. But overall we need to have a common language.

      Not sure what we’d settle on, the most spoken probably.

      Funny thing is, Europe is making more progress on one language than any of the other things they listed. Seriously cross the continent even just ten years ago vs. today - it’s remarkable how much more common English is as a second language everywhere.
