This leads to a domino effect across the world, with other countries wanting to keep pace with the world's largest economy – America. English is still a dominant language, with millions of people learning it as an L2 language, through TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), university, and other perspectives. However, there has been a decline in English as an L1 language: in 1950, almost 9% of the world's population spoke English as an L1 language, and it is estimated that by 2050, less than 5% will speak it as an L1 language. , this supports the decline of English on a global scale. By 2050, it is estimated that English, Spanish, Hindi and Arabic will be ranked equally among languages ​​(with English declining as a first language).,
