Language

[Bushey]

Now that Europe is made up of 22 countries is it now time for a common language to complement the nation (mother) tongue to enable easier and quicker communication between the 22.?
Then perhaps a world language, it may take two or three generations but given the will is it possible.?

Esperanto already exists as an international language but is not widely used. In business English tends to be the common language (except maybe in France).

There is - its called English (fortunately for us). Unless you live in France when its called French.

Point of pedantry...

Europe is made up of 48 countries plus part of Turkey.
The EU currently has 27 member states.
