Excerpt:
"For most people of the world, linguistic diversity is the norm - not the exception. There are many more people in the world who are bilingual than are monolingual. This is sometimes difficult for Americans to appreciate. We have become accustomed to the notion that the world is becoming more homogeneous, that there is a linguistic convergence, with English gradually becoming the universal language."
