Local Language Reform

The medium of instruction should be in the native language until 11 years old. This will strengthen the native culture.

At 12, the language should change to English as a global language

Other dialects and foreign languages can be taught also from 12.

Global Language Reform

Global unity can be achieved through a global language and global script that already works.

Romanization Reform for Non Romanized Scripts

The Roman (Latin) alphabet is already the world’s most widely adopted writing system, used by over 70% of countries and adapted for hundreds of languages.

Its simple, familiar 26-letter base, ease of typing and printing, and global spread through science, trade, and the internet make it the strongest candidate for a truly universal script.

It connects speakers of English, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Vietnamese, and many more, and is already used to transcribe languages from Swahili to Tagalog—proving it can work across cultures.

Other scripts can be romanized in order to have a global script.

Tonal languages like Chinese, Thai, and Vietnamese, as well as languages with clicking sounds such as Khoisan and Bantu languages of southern Africa, can be romanized by adding the diacritics and extensions.

English as the Earth Language

English:

  • is spoken by over 1.5 billion people across more than 100 countries
  • serves as the primary medium for international business, science, aviation, and diplomacy
  • is the language of the vast majority of the world’s digital content, academic research, and cross-cultural exchange

It is flexible, absorbing words from dozens of other languages and adapting easily to new contexts.

It does not force genders like French or Spanish, nor hierarchy like Japanese.

Yet for all its strengths, English carries deep inconsistencies from the absorbing of foreign words.

This causes conflicts in:

  • pluralization: we have cats and dogs, but children not childs
  • spelling: this often clashes with pronunciation—rough, through, though, and bough share almost no sound despite looking similar.
  • subject-verb agreement has arbitrary exceptions—we say the team is but the team are depending on context, with no universal standard.
  • irregular verbs pile up without logic—go/went/gone, be/was/were/been, rather than following the simple walk/walked/walked pattern.

The standardization of English will lead to a new language that will have consistent rules.
