Good Speech “Universal Language”

The concept of universal language is appreciated by many people who feel that only one language in the world would help in many ways, while others criticize it. What is your opinion?

Different countries have their different national languages. The nationality of a person can be identified by his language. Countries with more than one language reflect a rich cultural diversity, but this situation is also problematic in many ways. Presently, English can be called universal language as half of the world population is using it. Developing countries like India, Pakistan and China have now understood the importance and benefits of English language, and government in these countries now provides facilities of English-Medium schools.

Undoubtedly, there are many advantages of accepting a universal language. Through universal language, a popular country can develop its business relations and increase its economic strength. It is hard to learn different languages to deal with people of different nations; use of a universal language is more convenient. People can understand the cultural and traditions of other countries, which helps in developing healthy relations among them.

This builds a foundation for good business and social relations. People can live with peace and harmony.

As every coin has two sides, there are disadvantages also if universal language replaces other languages. Adopting universal language leads to westernization of culture, which has many bad effects. Those who generally speak universal language forget their own language and culture and their children follow the same. For example, India is well-known for its culture and traditions all over the world, but nowadays, people in big cities have forgotten their culture and language.

By looking at the scenario of increasing technology and development in developed countries, I agree to universal language replacing other languages, but only to some extent. As far as business relations, exchange of technology and educational and economic purpose is concerned, it is all right. At the same time, people should not totally leave their own language as it is the identity of the nation and its people.
