Re: Future of Spanish

Very interesting thread.

I've been dabbling with a futuristic language derived from Spanish
for a novel I'm currently working on.  It takes place in the 31st
century and the main characters speak a language that has the
same relationship to modern Spanish as, say, medieval Spanish
or French had to Latin.

I guess I never thought of modern Spanish breaking up into
separate languages since I always assumed that such schisms
occurred as the result of geographic isolation or the sort of
reduced communication that occurred in Europe after the fall
of the Roman Empire.

I think that modern technology (video and audio recording
and global communication) will minimize the tendency of
dialects to veer too far away from each other in the future.

Has anyone already constructed a futuristic Spanish?  If
somebody has (and they're not doing anything with it)
can I borrow it? (creator will get full credit and profuse
thanks in my book 8-)
