It is hard to say which of Hindi or Mandarin will be more dominant in business by mid century. The rise of both nations has only seen English become ever more prominent as the language of international commerce and that isn't likely to go away for as long as we live. If I had to bet on it, I would say Hindi would be far more dominant than Chinese as India has an open diverse economy while China is centrally planned and closed off. As for moving past English, not going to happen. Too much of modern culture revolves around it. If Bollywood can replace Hollywood... watch out!

Ive heard that the french like to speak french and are against speaking english while amongst themselves ? If true then i salute you because the elites here (rich) like to speak in english even amongst themselves when there mother tongue is indian language. They'll also try to copy british and american accents. That mentality pisses me off no end.

India is the future but Hindi aint. So first try to make Hindi as a national language and then talk about teaching others.

If Indians themselves are abandoning Hindi, what kind of future does it have?

Indian abandoning Hindi? News to me

Dont worry, its a trend only in cities. But this trend wont stay. But you need to understand the demographics of India, its not a country with 1 language. English is the easiest language of the lot i guess.
Even in cities(northern and western) Hindi is the dominant language. Yes some peple do like to showoff their english skills, but we cant stop them from talking, its a FREE country.

I will tell the truth no matter where it finds me. Not even Chi Chi/ Cha Cha and the Great Firewall kept me from showing the real China. Nothing ever will...

I can even teach francais in China, it is one of the top 3 languages. My roomate just happened to be teaching English so I did part-time work over weekends to keep from being bored. It doesn't pay much so I wouldn't think about teaching any languages as a career. Sorry, I need more bankroll than that.

So far you showed nothing of the so called REAL china, except a few taunts on DFI!

Even if you did teach French it would be useless, no one learns french these days, i learnt it in school for a year. The top languages now are English, Chinese, Spanish and Arabic these languages are useful for travel and business because they are spoken in a wide area and are distributed well.

We ain't abandoning Hindi!!
We are merely learning new languages, we got Skills!!

I shared my experiences of China, have you even been? Go experience the world before you talk about people who have.

You took a year of French yet no one learns French? It is standard curriculum in most Western secondary schools, not to mention the official language of 43 countries and territories making up 17% of the UN General Assembly. As a travel language, It is the second most important language for getting around Europe, the most important in Africa, quite useful in the South Pacific and Caribbean, Canada, IOR. It is the second most recognised lingua franca after English.

How important is Hindi or Mandarin for that matter? A few countries with diasporas? When I was running through language tapes for South Asia, I was taking Urdu, not Hindi.

Please educate yourself before you pass any comment. India is a multi-lingual country of which Hindi is the most widely spoken language.. We do not have a national language. People who speak Hindi are still speaking Hindi.Why would they abandon their language??!! & what language would they then use to communicate, Chinese????

Well i have been to China on trade visits, its not great but it has developed but you have posted no pics, just taunts. Someone could be sitting at his home on the toilet while posting that on his WiFi.

I thought it would be useful but i found out it had no use. Learning Arabic is more relevant for North Africa and Middle East even if it is one of the official language of certain nations, it is not well understood and more over those nations have no value in trade or economics. They are very poor african nations. With the American media on over drive its only time that they will forget French and switch to english.

Urdu is just Hindhi with Arabic script and it does not make a diffrence.

I posted plenty of pics, they got deleted for being OT so I stopped bothering. The economic data collected on REAL inflation are valuable indicators of what is really going on, more valuable than a picture of people frying rats. No one sitting on his toilette is going to know those numbers unless they get out to the markets and take price quotes. You won't learn that from PBOC or MOFCOM.

Yeah, and Arabic has little use outside of Arab countries. French is far more wide spread. When Arabs reach peak oil production, how important is it going to be while developing West Africa comes into its own?

Urdu is just Hindhi with Arabic script and it does not make a diffrence.

The nationalists would disagree with you.

Do not see the comical side of this...

English has helped bridge language divides within India that Hindi has not been able to, as well as being incredibly useful on a world scale.

There is tremendous diversity within Hindi itself, and so it is rather naive to blindly label the emergence of English as a failure on the part of Hindi.

'Opium wars' and Chinese 'Century of Humiliations' is what reminds me when you people type in English LOL
