EU may drop English language due to 'Brexit'

European Union may soon drop English language as a result of the Brexit referendum. This is because no state other than the UK has registered it as a primary language among the 28 countries within the European Union. Regulations would have to be changed to retain the language, requiring a unanimous vote from the 27 remaining states.Although English is the most popular foreign language in all but five European countries, French politicians have led calls since the Brexit vote for an end to its dominance. The EU has 24 official languages but for daily business, the European Commission and council of ministers use English, French and German. But German EU commissioner has a different view, he says, "We have a series of member states that speak English, and English is the world language which we all accept".
