User blog comment:Starios/Referendum - Language on the Public Chat -/@comment-26031225-20160319231910

If we all talked our own language, we could not understand each other, that's why the rule exists. And since we all speak English (to a different extent), it is the "official language" of the Wikia.

Besides, if you want to talk your own language, you can do it by PM with someone who also speaks that language.

Also, making this "referendum" doesn't means that it will happen, even if there are more "Yes", since it is up to the admins to decide what to do.
