- Comment on What if the USA decided to use another language as its *de facto* national language at it's founding? How would it affect the world? 1 day ago:
If only the government “decided”. no one will care and Americans will continue using English as usual.
If all Americans decided to speak Spanish. World would still continue to speak in English because currently all information in all fields are mostly in English.
If all Americans decided to speak Spanish and translated everything into Spanish then probably world will start speaking Spanish.
A real life example is when Romans conquered all Greek territories, all those nations continued for decades writing in Greek.
I know for a fact that in Egypt all taxes and government related stuff remained in Greek even decades after Arab conquest.

The article doesn’t suggest that, quiet the opposite
The researchers add that, though possible, it is unlikely that someone would intentionally build such an unusable device. As such, they suggest that Edmunds’ analyses might have been skewed by the highly corroded nature of the artifact, while emphasizing that their own results should be interpreted with caution, given the speculative nature of the study.
