later, german was the language of choice of philosopher because of its rigourous structure and the ability to make new words just by combining them.
now it’s english, because it’s the easier to learn.
but also the real reason was the economical power of its time impose its language. The reason english was chosen probably is only because the software developers were english.
I think slavic language would be the best though, because every single word takes a different variation if they’re about a man or woman, etc. So there’s probably the least amount of ambiguity.
But probably an invented intermediate language would be the best. Except the google style translators don’t try to infer any meaning, which makes it hard to reason about.
if we must have one and you believe in euroversals, then german and/or french might be better than english…
