France, Italy, Japan all severely reduced their lingustic diversity in favor of creating one single identity. Would an European Union have to do the same?

Chase Bell
To create a pan-european culture then yes
Jose Hall
The Switz didn't.
Nor did the Spanish.
Jordan Smith
Depends on how unified it is. A unitary European state (which won't happen for centuries at least) might do that, but a federal Europe wouldn't.
What would the common language of a unitary Europe even be?
Tyler Stewart
Esperanto, English or French.
Angel Rogers
If we wanted the kind of unity that France has yes.
But as the only plans are for a federation or an union and not a single republic, no.
Dylan Sullivan
Arabic.
Cooper Evans
i 100% anticipated this response
Evan Perez
Fuck no, euros gave up on conquering their home turf when they discovered Amerindian World as a large vacant spot for easy territory gains. With the exception of balks we will probably never see another european territorial skirmish again.
Dominic Robinson
The current EU is a corrupt, undemocratic dictatorship. It has nothing to do with the European values and it's Peoples.
Lucas Reed
Excuzes-moi mon soypuliste, but we are going to make Europe great again
Ryder Martinez
You're a petty slave to Merkel's policies. Nothing more.
Samuel Wright
Join us, become a neoliberal̇. Soros pays much more than Putin and his working conditions are heaven. There's free snacks and a snooker table.
Christopher Carter
I only gave it because it was expected of me.
Josiah Kelly
Merkel lost some of her authority recently. If groko passes he has a chance, if it doesn't he will have a better one yet later.
Samuel Gomez
How did they reduce their linguistic diversity?
>Hello fellow frenchmen, the EU is a thing now, so the following words and phrases are banned from our language.
Camden Mitchell
sorry didn't read OP carefully enough and also I'm kind of mad right now
Jaxson Hall
The EU does not strive towards a single cultural identity. It's not a nation.
Carson Young
I would estimate that somewhere around half of all Europeans under 40 understand and speak English at an intermediate level.
Kevin Hernandez
You'd be sorely mistaking then,
In both France and eastern europe as a whole you will not be able to get around with just english
Jordan Bailey
Spent four weeks in Paris two years ago. They all fucking speak English. I couldn't even practice French because they all want to practice English. It's not the 1970's when my parents visited Paris.
Leo Young
>In the EU25, working knowledge of English as a foreign language is at 38%
And that's all ages. Young people would be more likely to speak it.
Levi Moore
Jack Hughes
Esperanto is a failure it won't be a common language
Caleb Hernandez
You did good.
Latin, for extra LARP on top.
Kayden Thompson
english duh
anti-brexit larpers would prefer french for obvious reasons
