:::Must? Could be a typo in en.iTunes! |

:::Whatever the authenticity of "Linguafranc", "Lingua Franca" seems 13-times more popular, in the wild, :. Plus, given the unanimous adoption of "Lingua Franca" (and exclusion of "Linguafranc") on the other four romanised wikis (''']''', ], ] and ]) {{ndash}} "Lingua Franca" '''is''' an established ''de facto'' name for the track and, IMO, worthy of at least a " commonly known as " entry, here. |

:::Also, even if it's an en.iTunes typo, that's now a matter of history and that too would warrant a " commonly known as " across all wikis. {{nowrap| {{nbsp}} {{ndash}} Ian, ] (]) 12:58, 12 December 2013 (UTC)}} |
The SNSD song "リンガ・フランカ" means "Lingua Franca". It is an internationally used set phrase which is used since the 17th century. That's more than 400 years of writing it that way! A Lingua Franca is a language used for communication among people of different mother tongues. In the SNSD song they sing about love being their global language, their Lingua Franca:
"Fall in love around the world, girls!
Now it's lingua franca, lingua franca",
"¡Enamórense alrededor del mundo, chicas!
Ahora es lingua franca, lingua franca",
"世界中で恋せよgirls!
今リンガ・フランカ リンガ・フランカ".
Writing the set phase "Lingua Franca" as "Linguafranc" must be considered a misspelling.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.115.122.181 (talk)
