In the shadowy world of cultural exchanges, a silent yet mighty force emerges. A universal language, unpretentious in its structure, penetrates the minds and hearts of people all over the world, subtly shaping their thoughts and beliefs. However, like the duality of twilight, this language conceals a destructive potential, capable of demolishing the distinctions that define societies and cultures.
In contrast to the overt languages that flaunt their dominance through colonialism or globalization, this language sneaks up on its targets, murmuring its allure in the guise of convenience and efficiency. It weaves itself into every aspect of human life, from the banal to the significant, transforming the way people perceive and interact with the world. But at what expense?

The question then arises: when does the universal language stop being a connector between people and start being a tool of cultural annihilation tool of cultural annihilation?
