Sample answer from Navneet

A part of crowd opines that invention of new language will facilitate the interaction between people of distinct nations. However, I accord that the idea of discovering a new language to improve international communication is not at all pragmatic and it will surely have far more downsides than the benefits.

To commence with, there are only few benefits of introducing a new language to support the international communication. The first one is that it might make it less burdensome for people of several countries to communicate with each other, as there will be a global language. Secondly, instead of learning multiple languages, people will have to learn only one to communicate with people of other part of globe, as well as to make their career over there. Thus, new language might be helpful in easing the global communication.

On the contrary, there are various disadvantages of adding a new language. The most central one is that it will take a long time for the researchers to work and build a new language for communication. If they would be successful in finding a new language, it will take ages to teach the teachers about that language that too from basic to make them able to teach others. Moreover, although it might be easy to teach the youngsters about new language, it will be an arduous task for senior citizens to do so. Hence, on the basis of the aforementioned drawbacks, the idea of finding a new global language does not seems pragmatic.

In summary, apparently, inventing and learning a new language is nearly impossible. Even though it has some minor benefits, the downsides are too dire to ignore.

Sample answer by Savreet

Today, world has become a global village. To improve international communication, some people believe that we should invent a new language for international communication. I believe that this notion is over ambitious and the disadvantages of it will certainly outweigh the advantages.
To begin, there are not many intriguing reasons for popping up a new language that would be recognised as a ‘global language’. One of them is, a universal language can ease the communication across the world. It would aid in global communication which further helps in overall development of nations as individuals as well as on a united front. Moreover, students going abroad for higher studies in developed countries do not have to face challenges to learn a non-native language as everyone would be on the same boat and by the time it would be rooted in their genes. Thus, a new language could bolster international relations by easy conveyance of ideas in a single language.
Conversely, this idea is imaginary and rife with demerits. First, inventing a new language, understanding the origin of words and coining new words for a newfangled language would be an onerous task and it could take years. Second, implementation of the language is not at all pragmatic. Assuming younger generations could somehow get comfortable with learning and using it, but for older people who have spent their whole lives conversing and writing in English or in their native languages, it would be a disaster. Also, a consensus of every nation is must to execute this idea globally. Hence, speaking in a sole tongue is quite infeasible.
In the light of both advantages and disadvantages discussed above the idea of inventing and implementing a new language is insurmountable. However, it does have some benefits but the drawbacks have far reaching impacts on topic.
