Ok here i go shaggy. language is a system of arbitary signs. it's usd as a tool f communication
ya ... true but language is not the only tool to communicate..
there is a silent communication system with human/animals.. which is more powerful than language communication..
but in the modern world we have to communicate with lot of ppl ...language is use not only to share our feelings & ideas ..language is important 4 business.. hmmm what else .... (i'll keep blank) ... Ect..
it links with lot of areas.. in that case English use as the key language .. basic reason most ppl use English in modern world & lot of ppl can understand as well..
but there are countries like japan which mostly (99%) produce there human needs by there own.. so need of English language is not really necessary for them
but a country like sl mostly depends on other countries ... we should import stuff we should export stuff ... 4 all this a language require which can understand by both parties..
main time most sl companies link with overseas companies ... thats a reason to give #1 to English knowledge..
otherwise i wnt think its very important
( i think this answer is very much linked with business.. deferent ideas accepted Lolzz
