Abstract

For the first time in history, a world religion has promised that a day will come when there will be a universal auxiliary language taught to children in schools around the world. This article discusses the advantages of such a phenomenon and explores the reasons why this promise of an international auxiliary language is so vital for peace and harmony in the world. The author also considers two likely candidates-Esperanto and English-for the eventual choice as an international auxiliary language and the linguistic as well as non-linguistic problems associated with each particular choice. The Bahá’í principle of justice with regard to the choice of a world auxiliary language is also taken into consideration.
