There is one lingua franca in the world and it isn't latin, russian, french, spanish, mandarin, or german.
<How many official tongues do they have in the NZ parliament,>

NZ has two official languages, but really there is only one and it isn't the stone age language which doesn't even have a plural and which is unintelligible to 99.999% of the world's population.

The sooner all the redundant languages fizzle out, the better.

A stone is just a stone. There's no point in having 1000 different words for the same thing.

What a waste of money and trees: <<"The information is printed in Maori, Cook Islands, Fijian, Niuean, Samoan and Tongan. A pamphlet handed to them at court includes the same languages, plus Tokelauan, traditional Chinese and Korean.">>
