I found Latin to be very simple to pick up, but it’s hard to be conversational now since it’s a dead language and there’s no one to speak it with. My vote would likely be Latin though, or possibly Greek

At any rate, learning languages is super fun and empowering. I can only recommend it to anyone. Even if you never get to a fluent level. You'll learn a lot more about your own language too, when understanding another's structure

I find the first one more intriguing on an academic level. Which would be the easiest to learn and become fluent in on a global scale, no matter what your native language is.

I guess both questions are interesting. Which would be the ideal lingua franca on a clean slate, and which would be the best one considering the state of the world.

Flexibility in communication because of how large the vocabulary is and how many different languages we have roots in.

I get the Imperialist connotation, but I still think English would be best because it’s just so widespread. I’ve traveled quite a bit and it seems most everywhere people speak at least a little bit of English. It also has far more

And easy to imagine that it would help mutual understanding and communication immensely. It's harder to hate people you can make connections with.
