Major international languages (Vegetarian World)

Major international languages are those used between people of different nations to communicate with each other. While there are many languages that cross borders, major international languages are used by across the globe. A major international language is used as a lingua franca across wide areas, with non-native speakers often communicating to each other using this secondary language. One difference between a major international language and a major language or a regional language are that it is used among and between widely differing cultures. Thus, Mandarin Chinese and Chinese writing, while spoken internationally, are mostly used just within the Chinese or East Asian communities both in the Orient and in diaspora communities. Even though the number of people who can write Chinese is much greater than the number who can write Interlingua or Simplenglish, the latter two are used across the globe among different cultures.

There are generally thought to be three major international languages in use currently, including two planned languages. Below is a list of the current major international languages.

English
This is the only natural language of the major international languages, and is the most widespread of the three. English is a major language in use throughout most of the world, partly as a result of British colonialism, partly due to a large repository of English-language popular culture available to people around the world, and perhaps partly because it spans the Germanic and Romance language sub-families, which together are natively spoken by a majority of Europeans. The majority of first-language English speakers do not, in fact, reside in, however. Most nations in continental are either majority English or have a large minority who speak English natively, for example, and such other nations ranging from  to  to  to  have populations in which a majority of people can speak English. Besides this (and what makes it more international than merely diasporic), English is the most-used language between people whose first languages are not the same. English is the most-taught second-language in the world.

Interlingua
Interlingua was only created in the 20th century, but it was created to facilitate understanding between populations speaking different Romance languages, as well as letting English speakers (and to some extent other language speakers) understand various Romance languages with much less effort than would be required to understand any natural Romance language. Verb conjugations are simple, as the "I", "you", "it", "we", "you both/all", and "they" forms of a verb are all the same - something that can't be said for any natural Romance language. Furthermore, verb conjugations are regular, and there is no grammatical gender with nouns. Words chosen are forms recognizable to most Romance-language speakers, as well as well-educated English-speakers. It was created independently of any government organization, but was later selected by various Romance-speaking countries (such as, , , , , as well as the  nations as a neutral means of international communication between themselves.  Currently, it is being taught in a majority of schools as a second language not only in these countries but in various others (including many English-speaking ones).  Many people use Interlingua for travel, both to more easily understand the local languages, and to communicate with the locals (although speaking in the local languages is obviously appreciated).

Simplenglish
Simplenglish is a planned language that is intelligible to English speakers yet is much simpler to learn. Over the past few decades, the success of Interlingua in fostering international communication also brought about the adoption of Simplenglish by many schools in non-English-speaking countries. Native English-speakers, on the other hand, have had to become
