The Internet spreads the use of English as a global lingua
franca, but the Internet is also a place where traditional
languages can be communicated and thrive.
English is used for business and commerce on the
Internet, while traditionallanguages such as Gaelic can
only be heard in poems and music recordings but not
written on the Internet
The internet is produced only in English, as a result, many
traditional languages disappear due to the dominance of
English-language communication.
Many countries ban the use of English-language Internet
sites in an effort to resist the forces of globalization and
protect their traditional languages.
English is being used less outside of the United Kingdom.
Speaking a traditional language as a first language has
become the norm in former British colonies.
