English has become the main auxiliary language, but we should not forget that this dominance is due to circumstances which may not last. After all, it would have been hard for a Medieval monk to imagine that one day hardly anyone would speak Latin, and when it was proposed that the League of Nations adopt Esperanto, the French objected on the grounds that French was already the international language.Any radical simplification of English would essentially be a different language, and one which would not have much to recommend it.
