everything is in english in singapore. and outside singapore. i cant picture how can mandarin take over english. whats the use of mandarin outside china? none. -
If this happens, I just wonder how programmers gonna code the C language (or all other programming languages), and all other technical, scientific, medical, and mechanical engineering studies in Mandarin? What about LAW? Can you imagine all those existing LAW reference books the size of Holy Bibles that need to be re-written in Mandarin?
It's UNTHINKABLE!
In the first place, the world wasn't tailored in Manadarin!!!
This, can NEVER happen. Period. -
Possible, but not in my generation anyway

i think alexkusu is more rational, it might happen, just not in our generation.
come on, everyone. i found you guys imagination rather weak... -
One step at a time. To be on par with English takes some time and take over English is more time.
