Mind, you can say much the same about English.

The interesting thing would be which way improved communication technology is going to impact on English, if it continues in what at present seems its inexorable progress towards being the universal medium of communication.

On the one hand it could push us all towards standardisation - but on the hand there is the fact that the vastly greater proportion of people using the language will be non-native speakers, or in many cases non-speakers at all (as opposed to writers). This is inevitably going to change the language in all kinds of unpredicable ways.
