Ah.. Indian American is a good example. Since they had been so isolated 
from the rest of the world, their language, culture, and technology did 
not develop very well. An Orwellian nightmare of a single, unified 
language will more or less have the same effect as what geographical 
barrier did to the Indian American (and to other isolated cultures, e.g. 
Indigenous Australian, Papuan, Japanese (during the period of 
isolation), etc).

And contradictory to your belief, some Indian American DID adopt gun 
powders when the white European come. And Europeans DID NOT develop gun 
powders, the Chinese did. The Chinese invented early rockets and early 
guns, and most importantly the gun powder itself.

Before you convinced everyone to use the same natural language, you must 
convince everyone to use the same programming language. Nearly everyone 
have their natural language as their first language (mindset language); 
and nearly nobody have their favorite programming language as their 
mother tongue. It will be much easier to convince people to switch to a 
single, unified programming language since they don't have (or have much 
less) cultural ties and personal affection to the language.
