According to David Graddol , a British linguist and author of a new study called "English Next" commissioned by the British Council , native English speakers  face a bleak economic future as qualified multilingual speakers from other countries gain a competitive advantage in global companies and organizations, leaving native English speakers not only with increasing difficulty in employment, but also bewildered by many aspects of society and culture around them.

He also adds that Asia, especially India and China, hold the key to the long-term future of English as a global language as the growth of these two nations would enable them to determine how English will fare as the language of industry, commerce and the Internet in the coming decade.

There are about 450 million native English speakers around the world distributed in about 70 countries. But as many as a billion people, most of whom are from China and India, are learning English as their second language.
