EULISH - Modern lingua franca

Description

In this article I imagine that having a common language rooted in English across all European peoples could bring several advantages like: 

1. Ease of Communication : It would facilitate seamless communication across borders, promoting better understanding, cooperation, and efficiency in various sectors like trade, diplomacy, and education.

2.  Cultural Exchange : A shared language could enhance cultural exchange and mutual appreciation of diverse European cultures, fostering a sense of unity amidst diversity.

3.  Economic Benefits : It could potentially lower barriers to trade and investment by reducing language-related costs and barriers to entry, thereby boosting economic integration and growth.

4.  Political Cohesion : Common language can aid in political cooperation and decision-making within the European Union and other international forums, streamlining processes and enhancing effectiveness.

5.  Educational Opportunities : A common language could simplify educational exchanges and collaboration among European universities, researchers, and students, enhancing academic opportunities and innovation.

Overall, while preserving linguistic diversity is important, a common language rooted in English could enhance unity, cooperation, and prosperity across Europe.
