“Est-il préférable pour une société de parler une langue commune ou de maintenir plusieurs langues en même temps?
Les personnes vivant dans une société multilingue sont souvent confrontées au dilemme de choisir la langue à utiliser.
Par conséquent, il est crucial d'avoir une langue commune au sein d'une nation, car le multilinguisme peut entraîner des malentendus, de la confusion et des divisions.
Il n'est donc pas étonnant que les premières tentatives de créer une langue commune remontent à l'Antiquité, lorsque les anciens Grecs qualifiaient de "barbares" (barbaros) ceux qui ne parlaient pas le grec.”
