The reasons of the predominance is due to the economic and political supremacy of the UK and USA, as well as the fact that English speaking countries export many aspects of language and culture to the world. If another nation becomes more powerful in globalization than the Anglo sphere, then of course English could lose its dominance as what happened to Latin

By a happy coincidence, the English, is one of the languages the less complex and easier in the world. Of course, the concept of easy is relative, and it depends on the language that you already know. However, the concept of simplicity is undeniable: English is an easy language to learn, to understand and speak. The conjugation of verbs is very simple and easy. Same for the irregular verbs, there is little variation for different people.

Today new languages become races for the English .other languages are fairly simple and synthetic, with very little of conjugation of verbs as the Asian languages (Thai or Chinese). These languages are however written with ideograms and are tonal languages. However, if the Chinese should be written with the Latin alphabet, it could become a universal language. There are other languages that are strong, due to the demographic power and economic, could be of universal languages, but which have a number of disadvantages.

As with any language, the English language continues to evolve, and, by its current predominance, it ensures a “life” long and well filled!
