Ostler contends that the future promises something quite different: a new linguistic world order, in which China, India, Russia and Brazil, increasingly dominant economically, will discover that they can secure their positions in the global marketplace without recourse to English. The international form of the language will evaporate, and English will revert to being spoken only in its native heartlands. Those heartlands will be less important politically and commercially.奧斯特勒則認為,未來可能會出現完全不同的圖景:在新的世界語言格局中,隨著中國、印度、俄羅斯以及巴西在經濟上逐漸變得舉足輕重,它們會發現即使不借助英語,同樣能鞏固自身在全球市場中的地位。國際性的語言將不復存在,英語會重新成為尋常語言,只有英語發源國家與地區才會繼續使用它,屆時那些國家與地區在政治上和經濟上都將不再舉足輕重。
