At least most of them will know english. Like today, many countries has english education in schools. But I still think most of the languages today exists in Halo, you know, some of the marine talk spanish.

English is already one of the major languages. not the major but still. I doubt in the future there will be a world-wide language, but most people will probably understand it.

Oh, and I heard someone say something in Spanish in H1.

"amigo" : Spanish: friend or companion

most countries now speak english, its also so we understand what they're on about. there is spanish in halo though. on the other hand master chief knows all languages fluently thanks to his education so in the game that is probably how you hear them as you know everything they are saying.
i don't think its an unlikely event that in the future english becomes the basic language across the globe and the rest of the human worlds

they don't its just how the translator makes you hear them. as grunts have been encountered and captured most we know more of their language than the other covenant races. their true language is like barks and growls, like that of a dog

English makes sense to me, but why aren't there any African-American soildiers save for Sargent Johnson. I didn't see any Asians either.

the asians naturally will be filtered out because the chinese kill there female children and in time there will be no mothers for the chinese and many tourists will be raped because of sex hungry chinese men(the only chinese left) so the U.S. will be forced to bomb them. in the process of bombing them, they accidently miss a bunch of times and all of asia is gone.

there really should be more black soldiers, im sure that a lot more people will be black in the future because it is the dominant gene.

actualy it works so that you have dominant gene and a resesive gene however there are so many diferent genes and factors for them that skin color can be changed by those along with the gene efecting skin color.

everyone sounds english to the master chief because
a) understands most of the worlds languages thanks to his class A education
b) his communication software translates it for him
c) cortana can translate all languages, including some covenant
therefore its spoken english with the accents to create the illusion of all of the above working.
follow me?
in actual truth they speak their own languages, in the future something like this is highly possible think the communicator thing from star trek, it could be in everyones helmets
