Fewer is more

Is the world better if we have fewer languages?

Korea and Japan should not change their languages from Chinese. If so, they can communicate better with each other. Too many languages is a barrier to communicate to me. Well, English is the universal language now besides sign language.

Chinese has been simplified for the efficiency to be inputted into the computers, phones... It lost the beauty and meaning. Every Chinese symbol has meaning from the simple 1, 2, 3 to water and mountain. Personally I lose half of the Chinese books that I want to read - I really retire. Or, I have to re-learn Chinese when I really retire.
