Among the things which are conducive to unity and concord
and will cause the whole earth to be regarded as one country is that the divers
languages be reduced to one language and in like manner the scripts used in the
world be confined to a single script. It is incumbent upon all nations to
appoint some men of understanding and erudition to convene a gathering and
through joint consultation choose one language from among the varied existing
languages, or create a new one, to be taught to the children in all the schools
of the world.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
