Too many languages...

Mind made simple. Too many inaccessible localisation and as a result too many languages. We have to mind the rain and the drain and solutions must come first. If the clogged drain is in Malaysia, then the word 'longkang' comes to the mind. Can't wait for a word to fall from the sky to help us to clear the drain. But now the world and words can wait. This is after we have everything in minding the basic needs. With the development of physical and cyber highways, words are imported freely from the farthest corner of the earth. Even the Malaysian are fighting for the English words for the subjects of sciences and mathematics. We waited and now we have change the word 'longkang' to smart tunnel. Why not just use the word 'longkang bijak'? Ironically, we still maintain the words 'bukit antarabangsa.' Anyway, the development of languages can't be stopped. Too many languages but the meaning is definitely one. Allah Yang Maha Besar.
