English didn't become the most necessary language simply because someone decided it so. Language spreads like a virus. You can't just say "Oh, let's use Latin!". I mean, the first and most obvious question is "Why?". Latin has not been widely used in centuries, it is lacking words necessary for communication in today's world. Almost no one can understand it except those that are educated in it (which is just about the single worst way to spread language). Language spreads when used by the masses.
Latin is linguistically interesting from a development standpoint but there is absolutely no reason why it should ever be used today. If any other language should be used outside of English, it's Chinese. Mandarin Chinese is spoken by more people on the planet than any other and it's spoken by a wide variety of classes of people. Just like English spread because of global conquest, the only competitor English will have anytime soon is Chinese, because of globalized markets. How ya doing, buddy?

Without searching on the Internet for the answer, who can name the country with the most native English speakers after the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia?
(The answer surprised me.) There's nowhere I can't reach.

The #5 country in the world with native English speakers is.........
Nigeria! They didn't revert back to any old languages when Britain left in 1960, so English stuck and they have something like 4 million English native speakers. How ya doing, buddy?
