Surely, it already is English and will remain so for the foreseeable future.

Will be when? Surely English is gonna stick around in the short term, but it will always keep changing in the long term.

It will remain English for decades to come. It's still the international language of business, and any phasing into a new business language will be slow, but I guess in the fulness of time highly probable. The west is in decline.

Well, I started learning Japanese and among the other attendants there are: one French-Arabic man (who met Japanese friends in New Zealand), one teenage guy from Mauritian origin, a young girl of south-east asian type...

For my part, I try to promote death-metal grunts as universal linguage.
Surprinsingly, many people disagree.

why only ONE lingua franca? I foresee at least two equally dominant lingua francas, English and Mandarin, the latter especially in Asia of course.
