My guess is that eventually we will all speak

The language with the most people (Chinese)

The language in the most countries (English)

Or make up a completely new one.

First we have to make it another 300 years, that in itself is quite an assumption 😂

Yes

300? No. 3,000? Yes

Yes, the 12 left on the planet will all speak the same language #IMHO

No. Humans will continue to speak the language of their birth, but most if not all will learn a second universal accepted language for better communication with the rest of humanity. What language will it be is anyone's guess? English is the leading contender now. We all might be using universal translator phone apps.

There has always been bridge language, like Jews speak Hebrew & Aramaic, or Romans spoke Greek & Latin, it will probably continue with people in the future.

Of course it'll be different. Language, dialects, slang etc....it's been changing for years......why wouldn't it over 300 years?!

Is this as a primary language or does a second language count as well

Chinese

Interesting question!

Unfortunately not, but they should

I hope not

Probably some form of English since it's the language of economy, science, and travel. It's also the most malleable language, easily accepting change and new words from all sorts of strange sources. Something for everyone.

I doubt it.

Was it really so different 300 years ago?

If humans are still around in 300 years, yes.

No, but I do think the vast majority of the global population will be consolidated into 5-6 lingua francas, possibly English, Mandarin, Spanish, Arabic, and a standardized language for the Indian subcontinent.

No, I think the other was. Maybe only texting and no languages at all.

I can barely understand uneducated children from the Government schools now.
