I mean, I think that'd delay it, but I'm talking about a very long-term process here. Like, this shit is gonna happen on the same timescale that things like 'all languages more-or-less melding into one SUPERLANGUAGE because of the long-term contact and cultural exchange from globalization'. It's the kind of material process that's basically unstoppable just because of how culture, like, works.
Edit: You probably would still have significantly different regional/local dialects mind, but the massive increase in language-similarity is still inevitable.
i don't agree. culture does not automatically coalese, languages rarely naturally combine, and technology can be applied both to aid homogenity or avert it.
not if i have anything to say about it 🔫💣🚬
actually tho y'know how socialist states fund the preservation of minority cultures? that writ large could eventually rediversify and fight homogenity
