Framework

Each Nutopia community will initially have a single accepted language. For example, a community in the United States will have “English” as its native language, and no resources will be spent on supporting other languages such as “Spanish”. Anyone living in that community (they were born there or chose to move there) will need to pass a comprehensive language examination to ensure that they are able to live there day to day without the need of a translation service. Similarly, a Nutopia community in France will have “French” as its native language and any English-speaking person who wants to move there must pass a French examination.

In addition to the native language, all citizens in Nutopia will have to learn the “Nutopian” language. Over time (after one generation) on a specifically announced date, Nutopian will become the single common language across all Nutopia communities, and all the original native languages will be discontinued. All citizens must pass the Nutopian language test before that date. The new Nutopian language will be developed with contributions from all nations and experts in the fields of linguistics and phonetics to produce the most pure, simple, and logical language in human history. Anyone who has raised kids and watched them struggle with the illogical nature and the overly complex idiosyncrasies of the English language will also appreciate the desire to change. Once the new language is fully operational and is common across the world, all the inefficiencies and wastefulness of supporting multiple languages will be eliminated.

All traditional languages such as English, French, German, Russian, and Chinese, will become redundant over time but can continue to be studied as a recreational pastime by those who are interested in the history and evolution of language in the same way as Latin, Ancient Greek, and Hieroglyphics are studied by many people today.
