English is (effectively) that already. In 50 years or so, I wouldn't be surprised if the global language ('Earthish'? 'Earthean'?) was some sort of Mandarin/English fusion.

There is still a lot of French, Spanish and Arabic. I don't see any of those going anywhere fast, especially arabic, considering how resistant that area of the world appears to be to change.
