It's impossible for the entire world to speak one language. It would change depending on the speaker's location (homophones, culture-specific words, idioms).

It's more sensible to create an international business/political language, as this is when cultures unite.

Maybe it's just me, but I learn languages for practicality. Spanish was my first choice, because of the growing Hispanic population in the US. Other European languages are good to learn for international business (German, French, Russian).
