The dream language huh?

Heh... I actually implement a similar thing in my novels. It is supposed to be a fusion language of the future where human cultures collapsed and reformed as one, thus requiring them to have a more convenient language than simple English, for all to use and it has Japanese nods in it. I plan to use German and Russian and other language nods as well but since I'm mostly working with English, Japanese and Sinhala(my native language) with small amounts of Tamil, Chinese, Korean, Latin and Spanish, it is kinda difficult to have it properly. Though I do use a plot-device stating that the language is primarily sounding like English mixed in with random bits of other to make it more convenient for the audience. Don't you find it inaccurate that Futuristic movies have almost unchanged language from the present despite being set several centuries from our time? Just a few decades ago, our languages were considerably different than today, so it would be even more different centuries into the future. You just need to add a plot-device stating why they are speaking a language the same way we currently use it but hey, that is something I bet only one in a million ever thinks about :P
