I don't know what you mean with "best", but I think it is practical, the easier to learn, and the most important one.

Let's just say the united EU would be superior to the US in pretty much everything except its military. Then keep in mind the only thing explaining the latter is that European countries invest very little in their military to begin with. Add America's massive debts to it and yeah.... we have the potential to be the new America. We just need to stop the petty "muh sovereignity" infighting.

It's the best because of its wide appeal and usage.
Aside from that it's no better or worse than any other language.

But, it's not.
Well, it's nice because it's very good for things like poetry, because of the literature tradition, we have a high pool of words.
But as far as being logical goes, it's terrible. I'd say the Romance languages are probably the most logical.
1 hours later 8307666 Anonymous
It's awful, because it's confusing, because it's mongrel. In order to understand English fully, you also need to learn German, a Romance language (especially French), and Celtic language (which are about to be extinct).
English is great because you can say one thing a thousand different ways and it still not be what you meant to say.

German is the most logical. I mean, you see a mouse. Then you see a mouse with wings. So you call it a flying mouse. Why would you call it a "bat"? A bat is for hitting a baseball. What, did somebody try to hit the flying mouse with a bat? Is that where the name came from?

"Dialectal variant (akin to Swedish dialect natt-batta) of Middle English bakke, balke, from Scandinavian (compare Old Swedish natbakka, Old Danish nathbakkæ 'night-flapper', Old Norse leðrblaka 'leather-flapper')."
