Why we need lingua Franca in our country.

In my personal opinion, I hardly see any reason substantial enough to obviate the English language in favour of any of our local languages. Not that our language have no beauty of their own, but the fact remains that even if we adopt any of them as our lingua Franca, we we shall continue to study and communicate in English language as long as it is already an International one.

Nowadays there is hardly any country in the whole world where the English language is not being studied.

Despite India's adoption of a national language, the people of the country still studied English language in order to communicate successfully with other countries of the whole world.

Therefore,the problem only national language, and beating or stoped English language to stand in place as second language.

To say the fact,there is not much gainful sense in taking away English language just because it is not native, thank God that our government makes English language very compusory in all schools.

We can also dilate on other issues which we adopted and which at the same time have become part and parcel of our national life. For instance, we cannot afford to despise mechanised Agriculture in favour of our old method.

Let us take a look at medical science,the modern method helps in many ways,depend solely on the speculations of herbal centre all because to be national, Today many herbal centre apply modern method.

Many people have spoken that a lingua Franca is very essential in our country,this is an appropriate time to agitate for the adoption of a national language,although our national language is the first language we should learn more and also train our children.some have argued that if we adopt any of our indigenous language as our lingua Franca ,we might not be able to understand scientific and technological term which are already being pronounced in English. The fact is that since there are foreign words in English language, we speak and write, we can remain those foreign scientific and technological terms as borrowed words which fit into our own language. There is hardly any language in the world which is free from the inclusion of foreign words.

Those who argue that English language is already an International language as the basis of their insistence on retaining English as our lingua Franca should remember countries like Germany, Japan, India and a host of others to whom the English language is not indispensable.

We need English language because there different tribe in the country and each tribe can not understand other tribe lanaguage,but what each tribe need is to understand English language so that it will be easier for them to communicate together or do any business together.

For example, In the federal house of representative,there are different representative from all parts of that particular country, these people cannot understand one another unless they speak English, because they came for different race.

The English language therefore, is lingua franca.

A LINGUA FRANCA is a language which is learned in all parts of a country.
