"Yet we need an IAL for this world" = ? What do you mean by this? And I am not sure what an IAL is (I just plain forgot) but I am assuming it means something al,ong the lines of "International Auxiliary Language"?

If this is so, and if what you say about IAL needing a back culture or history or un ity it in, then I would say that having an IAL for this world, as in everyone speaking the same language, is impossible. Because not everyone would want to speak the same language (French people in general despise speaking english) and also i dont think there would be one as i dont believe, unless by the extermination of large cutltural ethnic groups, that the people of this planet would or could not share one language under one unity or as such. People just wouldnot want to. I am not sure if i got your meaning right or what you meeant to say so..

With english i wouldnt say its neutral at all, what do you mean by neutral? In its history the english language has been so effected, warped and changed to such a large extent it really doesnt have a history like that of persay Quecha or German. English has been affected by sso many different languages and cultures that i think it would be a strong push to consider calling modern english a proper and full relative of what english used to be, in this i mean how english began at its roots, as Anglo-saxon or more commonly referred to old english.

But then again that is not a very great basis for argument and im pretty biased. xD
