Do you think there will be a global language on earth in the future? Such as post nuclear war, the few surviving human populous all creating a global pidgin language? Or maybe in thousands of years when we go intergalactic, there will be a "human" language? Like a language that is native to earth, to distinguish from other alien races. Maybe I'm just a nerd....

If that happened, I bet you would see an increase in the number of languages because with civilization breaking down, there would be less travel and less communication. Local dialects would evolve into different languages.
