disadvantage to native speakers of any particular existing language.
Even though I an mative-English speaking and therefore advantaged with English becoming ubiquitous, I would not mind learning *one* artificial 'natural' language. I even considered Esperanto at one point. But the advocates of such a lingua franca cannot seem to agree on which ;-).
