| 1454288 | 2018-10-10 05:04:00 | The English Language is the most widely spoken language in the world. That means that you can go almost anywhere in the world and you will find someone who you can talk to. I have travelled to a few countries in Europe and have had no problems being understood. It is an advantage to speak another tongue but if you are English you can get away with only English. |

| 1454290 | 2018-10-10 05:19:00 | It's actually Chinese (www.fluentin3months.com). :) I did not say spoken by the most people. Chinese (Mandarin or Cantonese) is spoken by many more than English but English is more widely spoken. |

| 1454294 | 2018-10-10 21:12:00 | That must be why there is such a big push for everyone to learn Maori :) But what use is it? No one else in the world speaks Maori. You're better off learning a European language such as German or French. At least those languages are spoken in other parts of the world. |

| 1454296 | 2018-10-11 01:44:00 | I thought Maori was originally a spoken language. as was English. At least what eventually became English Languages evolve. So why cannot Maori evolve to include writing :-) |

| 1454297 | 2018-10-11 01:46:00 | But what use is it? No one else in the world speaks Maori. Even most Maori cant be bothered to learn it. Apart from a few words or phrases . When that changes , then they can point the finger at us to also learn it. |
