Maybe it wont be one dominant language but all of them equally respected. Is Esperanto still alive? Espe3, that was precisely what I thought when Fernando made his remark about dissolving borders. It works well here in the States, where in any one city you can hear a multitude of languages. A friend of mine who is a 4th grade teacher in Jacksonville, told me that in her classroom she has 9 children who each speak a different language!

I don`t know a word on Gibraltar, but I know someone who does, a certain Dieter Haller (a German, supposedly a neutral fella, uh?) who made an interesting field word upon this issue:

Anyway, I think anyone should support beforehand the will freely expressed by the 99% of any etnic group.

Just my thoughts but... do really any etnic group decide the future of a piece of land? In my opinion no.
If I gather a group of spaniards, go to some unhabited piece of coast (for example of France) occupy it and stablish there... do I have any right to claim self determination for it just because I live there?
Remember that UN made a resolution in which it call for a descolonization of Gibraltar.
In my opinion the solution is pretty simple: Make a long term agreement of co-sovereignity, let gibraltarians choose their nationality, respect their properties and current rights, and let british make use of any militar bases needed. That way everyone should be happy.

Let it go Spain. The rock is British and will remain so, FOREVER!!!!! (Until Spain gets back the Armada, then maybe they can claim something, until then, aaaaaadios)
