I think Mandarin was mentioned just to keep the article from sounding too triumphant. I have no doubt that English will win out. I have read that it has the largest vocabulary. And it is just too well established now for anything else to beat it out. It is driving the French nuts that English is now the second language of Europe. And it is taking over Asia. Our dominence in computers is part of it, I am sure.
