Baha'u'llah predicted that the world would one day adopt an auxiliary language to facilitate communication among peoples in order to remedy the fundamental lack of communication which undermines efforts towards peace. He wrote: (18:64) The day is approaching when all the peoples of the world will have adopted one universal language and one common script. When this is achieved, to whatsoever city a man may journey, it shall be as if he were entering his own home. (pob 115) (18:65) Although when Baha'u'llah wrote these words, the adoption of a world language seemed inconceivable, it now appears inevitable.
(18:66)
