and the reason why english is so suitable as a world language is because it is so similar to the other european languages, like if you speak german there isn't really anything in english you shouldn't know of besides that they use the latin words way more often and that the grammar is way simpler, and if you speak french you basically just have to learn all the aspects of the language the normans were too lazy for. if it wasnt for that then latin would probably still be the world language which would probably be a good thing since there are no native speakers and thus no vernacular speech you have to keep track of
