Perhaps we should also look at French in Canada. There's not much
evidence that English is becoming preferable in Quebec, even though
the opportunity to adapt to English has existed for some time. True,
many learn English so they can interact with the rest of Canada, the
U.S. and the world, but I don't see French dying, if anything, the
opposite.
