Communication is the Key

First I will start by stressing the fact that languages, like cultures, are living, growing, changing, adapting organisms. Many times I have heard people worried about protecting their culture, saving a dieing language, or keeping a language pure. That is like trying to put you or I out in society and expect us not to grow, change, or adapt. Of course we all do, as do our languages. None of the existing languages are the same as they were 300 years ago. Times, people, and situations change, and thus so do their languages. A language changing, can be a good, even great thing, for the people who use it.

As a result, I will be meeting with all the Leaders of both the Spanish speaking and the English speaking countries. We will each bring an accomplished linguist to the Spanish/English Communication Summit. We will be putting together a list of 10 English words that the spanish countries will adopt and 10 Spanish words that the english countries will adopt. Thus making the two languages 20 words more compatible. We will continue to do this once every two years for the next ten years, at which point we will have 100 more words in common between spanish and english.

This is going to help us communicate better and be better able to help one another and work together. We will each grow stronger individually, and collectively.

Be compassionate, and happy.

Your devoted King
