What we really need is an artificial language for maximum ease of learning and use.

Don't use anyone's native language, but make a list of the best features and make one.

- Certainly no gender for asexual or non-living things.
- Pronounced the way it is spelled.
- Avoid sounds that major groups of people find hard to distingush.
- Avoid words that sound the same but mean different things.
- Unambiguous grammar.
- Consistent tenses.
- etc...

Perhaps add some single-word paradoxes to cut short the inevitable AI uprisings

If you make your tenses very structured, you should even be able to handle time travel tenses without any problems:
"I'm glad that I will have thought of this idea!"
There sort of is: Esperanto... but the catch is getting enough people to want to learn such a thing that everyone does, and then keeping it "pure" and avoiding the language drift that leads to such things as the word "special" becoming an insult, without getting the chains on advancement that France deals with....
