For Europa, language used to be ethnic and sacredly connected to a people as their secret code of communication. Now that English is becoming our world's dominant language, there is no longer any natural layer of communication security for the West. China has Chinese, Israel has Israeli, but America and parts of Europe are now vulnerable as their secret code is known by all. Even now in "peacetime", Muslim terror agents in Britain can easily understand their targets, but can't be understood. In wartime, imagine this problem but on a massive scale. You can't yell out orders in your secret code anymore because all the Chinese soldiers killing your people grew up learning it in school.
I hope someone can just come in here and call out why this doesn't make any sense, but right now it seems to me that we are at a severe disadvantage. Even now, other countries can observe our internet and learn who we are while very few of us can do the same back. It may seem dominant to have your language everywhere, but I feel like there could be severe negative consequences down the line. Feeling more and more like a guinea pig every day.

fuck it, everyone learn old English, close enough to English to be easy to learn but different enough to not be easily understood.
that said, it's not like since the dawn of telecommunications that foreign powers didn't have translators, the whole using the native American niggers language as code was done for a reason and thanks to various translation widgets it's not like you can't browser their Internets if you wanted to, you just don't.
don't get me wrong, you have a valid point, it's just as not as a big of deal as you think it is. i do agree though that when shit goes sideways or in war we are at a disadvantage…but also feel like it wouldn't be that hard to find a work around if it's proving to be a problem…that said, if your into the prepper thing you should have a series of codes that can be used by you and your groups to communicate…just as an example here is one that hobo and tramps use, create something similar for your people…do it now and make copies before things go to shit.

The usefulness in using older Germanic languages is that the same sentence read with different intonations can mean an entirely different Thing.
