In 2066, linguists predict that “th” sound, the Englishman’s hallmark, will vanish completely in London, because there are so many foreigners who can not pronounce the interdental consonants. Say hello to the rise of “Multicultural London English,” heavily influenced by immigrants from the Caribbean, West African and Asian communities, and which takes the place of the renowned and universal “Estuary English”.

Within a few decades, immigration will have profoundly changed even the language itself, according to experts at the University of York. The “th” sound is intended to be replaced by “f”, “d” and “v”, which means “mother” will be pronounced “muvver”. Other changes planned for 2066 include the yod dropping, where the “u” pronounced yu is replaced with “oo”. This means that “Duke” becomes “dook”, “news” is pronounced “nooze”. Similarly the “l” at the end of the words will be abandoned so that the “Paul” words and “pool” will play all the same way. “Text” will lose the “t” at the end to

We have before our very eyes a phenomenon that confirms the increasing erosion of the upper class caste in Britain. A revolution had already taken place when the Oxford English or BBC’s English vanished and what remained was only the “Received Pronunciation,” the standard pronunciation, used by most people, by the queen as well as the bank official. It is also true that for five hundred years vulgarisms enriched the English language.

Without this fruitful contribution, the Old English would never have grown to become the rich language of Shakespeare. But the new study is not an exercise in linguistics. It shows us the deep impact of mass immigration in European societies where multiculturalism is dominant.

This is an impact that is felt in the school canteens in Stockholm, in the cartoons of Parisian newspapers, in the birth rates in Milan, in the streets of Cologne, but also in the now-impoverished phonetics of the most universal and magnificent language that has ever been created.

These are the last days of Europe as we know it.
