Utopia Will Have a Universal Language

Published by ideonexus

We need suppose no linguistic impediments to intercourse. The whole world will surely have a common language, that is quite elementarily Utopian, and since we are free of the trammels of convincing story-telling, we may suppose that language to be sufficiently our own to understand. Indeed, should we be in Utopia at all, if we could not talk to everyone?

H.G. Wells, A Modern Utopia (2004)

Notes

But it doesn't need that anymore. Translators and translations break down the language barriers, so that technology eliminates the need to overcome this cultural barrier.
