Larios: Well William is a pleasure to me to be here with you and is a pleasure to talk
about the future of English, thanks.
William: Good Larios as first question, What is the future English as a global language?
Larios: I think that the English will not be the most dominant language in the world
because, many languages like Spanish or Chinese are developing well in these years so, I
think that in the future, English will disappear.
William: What is the future for other minority language in the face of globalization?
Larios: Probably those languages will disappear but, there is a possibility that they will
not disappear but, i think that they will disappear in the future because, many languages
like Spanish or English or Chinese are developing better in all the world.
William: What i you opinion of the future of English?
Larios: In my opinion we cant talk about the future of the English because, all the world
talks in English but, there is a possibility that in the future will disappear because, rural
languages like “Spanglish” will be more dominant in places like Latinoamérica.
William: Does the use of English seem to be growing or declining?
Larios: In the last years the use of English has been higher tan many other languages but,
languages like Chinese, in these years, have been more developed in all the world tan
English because, Chinese is the language of the actual economist so in the global
economy they need to know Chinese.
William: country where you are studyng?
Larios: Well an example of these rural languages is the “Spanglish”, we can see it in
here, in Colombia.
William: Can visitors and tourist understand local English?
Larios: In some turistics parts like Cartagena the people can talk in English or in other
language but, is not perfect you know?
William: How should the government in an anglophone country support minority
languages?

the country can know about languages of minorities.

be like more prepared to the future because they will know English in a more appropriate
way
