Once I travelled to Bangkok, Thailand, as you know, I am as a good Indonesian, I learn English and think this is the best way knowing world better, and that time was not the first time, I am going to somewhere I don't know about, I feel not rally strange by their city life, but once I need to go to toilet, I have been in trouble, the only keyword I able to think was TOILET, and yes, everybody familiar with this word, and I was saved at that time. This is only samples that how important universal language, and thanks God that TOILET is more known as a name not a term.
That kind of scenario could be possible happen to anyone, and by that we need to developed a common term, the common term is more like a symbol that we do habits in our daily life, or at least we have a reference dictionary to refer to, eg: Halal, Direction, Gender, Colour and else. I am not telling people to not to unprepared, but the life would be easier and optimize by this and the un-blending social will be eliminated.
Actually we already have a symbolized information to communicated with, and that is a Numbers, Yeah, everybody know this, even each tribes have their own word and pronounce, but the meaning is the same. This is make me love Mathematics subject during my schools and college period till now.
According to wikipedia.com, Number is a mathematical object used to count, label, and measure(1). With this definition any presumed course would be eliminated, this is what I called, REALEXACT. I do my homework by looking a ancient of numbers origins, what we have now, is numbers that collaborate HINDU-ARABIC numbers, it' combination of 10 symbol, 0-9, and it's enough with the history telling(2).
I have a time where I communicated with a seller only used number and body language to did bargain(This was on my Bangkok trip also), is that awesome?, yes it is. We exchanged the information only by hands and head gesture(helped with a technology called Calculator, the showed the price), and we understand each other, for your information I got a discount for this(normal result for bargain process), but it proved me enough that number is universal language, even-though only for count not the nominals, but don't you get it that we are on the communication, exchanged the information without a word.
I am really sure that, with Mathematics, we are able to developed new communication mechanism, that not required to learn and posted with one specific culture.
