    When did France receive a culture?

    Thought they were too busy screwing and pigging out to develope one of those...

    Get your facts straight before posting FFS.
    It was camembert.

    I think they should keep the languages because as Guillaume said, the language is very important to a culture and I don't think any culture should 'dissapear' or stop.

    Just about every country in Europe teaches English as a second language anyway, we don't need it to be the first language anywhere in particular, but if everyone were bi-lingual it would make communication that much easier.

    As to which language should be regarded as the ONE, there is only English, it's already the international language, we don't need another one.

    English is a dynamic language, constantly changing, for example, this is the Lord's prayer, circa 1100 AD ..

    Fęder ure žu že eart on heofonum;
    Si žin nama gehalgod

    gewurže šin willa
    on eoršan swa swa on heofonum.
    urne gedęghwamlican hlaf syle us todęg
    and forgyf us ure gyltas
    swa swa we forgyfaš urum gyltendum
    and ne gelęd žu us on costnunge
    ac alys us of yfele sožlice
