French used to be the most important language in the world. Right now it's English, what do you predict will be the next "global language"?

I think it'll remain the most 'important' language for my life time. But I can see a lot of business people needing to learn some basic Mandarin.

English seems it for the foreseeable future, but if something were going to replace it Spanish seems the most likely...something like Mandarin would have the numbers, but I'm not sure how much potential there is for its influence to spread outside its borders, being more insular compared to the expansionism of the 'West'

I think English will stay as a language of exchange. Though Spanish is on the rise.
