What do you think will happen to English in the next 30–40 years?

Do you believe it will split into multiple varieties and of the language, as Latin did? Do you think that an “international English” will evolve that, while clearly indebted to native-speaker varieties, will hold different, self-sustaining norms from the Englishes that are spoken in countries such as the United States and the UK?
