Conlang for the Foundations Saga

Hi!
I've just finished reading "Foundation's Edge", the
sixth (I think) volume of the Foundations Saga by
Isaac Asimov, and in one part the characters were
talking about the Galactic language and the different
dialects it has, and that there may have been a time
were languages were more than one and mutually
incomprehensible.
Then I just thought: Why not create that Galactic
language, based on the current natlangs in the Earth
and trying to predict the ways in which only one
language may become the only language of the future
human Galactic society 20,000 years in the future?
I don't mean of course that only one language may
become the language of humans, but perhaps a mixture
of many present-day natlangs.
Would it be English the one predominant 20,000 years
from now?

Do you know of anyone who has already created a
conlang for the Foundations Saga?
Or do any of you have devised a futurist conlang?

Thanks!
Santiago
