What’s the fastest-growing language in the UK?

According to this piece in today “Mirror” newspaper, it is the emoji. Indeed a survey has suggested that eight out of 10 people in the UK have used the symbols and icons to communicate, with 72% of 18 to 25-year-olds adding that they found it easier to put their feelings across using emoji than with words. I confess that even I use emojis sometimes, especially in text messages to relatives and close friends.
