I just love languages.
Lingua Franca, what could be better than this word? It's easy to say, it feels good on the tounge, and it has a great meaning! What could be better than this, I wonder!
Lingua Franca
So, what does this wonderful word mean? It is a language which people use, from different countries, to understand eachother when they don't know eachother's native tounge. On http://www.wordsmith.org/ it is explained as: A language that is widely used by speakers of different languages to communicate with one another. On www.wikipedia.org they also say about this term that : Any given language normally becomes a lingua franca primarily by being used for international commerce, but can be accepted in other cultural exchanges(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingua_franca).
I really need a Lingua Franca to understand my customers sometimes...
=)
