I don't see the advantages of establishing an official language, when most countries in the world don't have one. Every nation has a de facto language, and isn't that enough?
I realize that it's not that simple. I also do not believe that we should have an official language. This thread was an attempt to keep another thread (the Spanish Star Spangled Banner) more on topic, and so I brought this debate to another thread.
