Readings for the Feast of Asma (Names):

[Tony Bristow-Stagg]

Interesting topic! I seem to remember that adopting a universal language is one of the goals of the Baha'i faith. Have you settled on a new candidate language yet? English?

From what I understand, Baha'u'llah has said it is one of the signs of the Maturity of humanity. Basically no one man can invent this language, it will take many clever minds.

This is one passage from Baha'u'llah.

"..O members of parliaments throughout the world! Select ye a single language for the use of all on earth, and adopt ye likewise a common script. God, verily, maketh plain for you that which shall profit you and enable you to be independent of others. He, of a truth,

is the Most Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Informed. This will be the cause of unity, could ye but comprehend it, and the greatest instrument for promoting harmony and civilization, would that ye might understand! We have appointed two signs for the coming of age of the human race: the first, which is the most firm foundation, We have set down in other of Our Tablets, while the second hath been revealed in this wondrous Book.

Bahá’u’lláh, Kitab-i-Aqdas, #189

So I see it will be a joint effort and, yes it will have 100% support of the Baha'i.
