- Global_language_system abstract "The Global language system is the "ingenious pattern of connections between language groups". According to Dutch sociologist Abram de Swaan, a sociological classification of languages based on large scale social role for their speakers:Hypercentral language: the language which connects speakers of the supercentral languages (below). Today it is English. Supercentral languages: very widely spoken languages that serve as connectors between speakers of central languages; according to de Swaan, there are twelve of these: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Hindi, Japanese, Malay, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swahili. Central languages: widely spoken languages. Peripheral languages: the rest – languages that not many people consider worth learning except to improve one's own communication faculties.According to the research by the British Council the languages of the world comprise a "hierarchical pyramid", as follows: The big languages: English, French. Regional languages (languages of the United Nations are marked with asterisk): Arabic*, Chinese*, English*, French*, German, Russian*, Spanish*. National languages: around 80 languages serve over 180 nation states. Official languages within nation states (and other "safe" languages): around 600 languages worldwide (e.g. Marathi). Local vernacular languages: the remainder of the world's 6,000+ languages.There are predictions that by the middle of the 21st century this will become more diverse in the top, but less in the bottom: The big languages: Chinese, Hindi/Urdu, English, Spanish, Arabic. Regional languages (the languages of major trade blocs): Arabic, English, Chinese, Malay, Russian, Spanish. National languages: around 90 languages serve over 220 nation states. Local languages: the remainder of the world's 1000 or less languages with varying degrees of official recognition.↑ 1.0 1.1 ↑ ↑".
