The leading world language

English is said to be dropping its role of being the leading international language of the world. Estimates say that the 9 per cent it held has now dropped to 5 per cent.

They say that by 2050 Chinese may become the leading world language because China’s growing economic power will force the rest of the world to take a closer look at China and that means a study of the Chinese language.
