That's us, English as a far distant language, behind spanish, french, arab, farcie, samallie, russian, chinese, pig latin, greek and several middle european and Asian languages. English will be last in a few years.

More likely we'll wind up with a sort of 'pidgin'; a combination of words from English, Spanish, Vietnamese (Now that's irony for you) and Korean that is all of these and none of them at the same time. A lot like the street language spoken in some less visited parts of Hawaii (The Hawaiin version of pidgin is a combination of English, Hawaiian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese and maybe a little Korean). It will happen gradually. No one will even notice.
