My guess is they became so snobbish they couldn't even stand one another and promptly died out.

The 3 most used languages in the world are English, French and Spanish. In that order popular use.

So another question is: If French "died" in the Trek universe, did Spanish go first?
Or did Spanish go where no French word had gone before?

Well, in the Star Trek future, the Americans obviosuly won WW3 (if you can win a nuclear war at all), and most of China and India and Europe became rather irrelevant. Hence the domination of the English language, and hence the obvious predominance of Americans among human Starfleet officers.

Yes, Picard is French, but apart from him, how many non-American officers can you count as opposed to those who seem to be from America?

American Starfleet personnel:
  • Archer
  • Tucker
  • Kirk
  • McCoy
  • Janice Rand
  • Riker
  • Crusher sen.
  • Crusher jun.
  • LaForge
  • Sisko
  • Bashir
  • Janeway
  • Kim (yes, Harry was obviously an American)
  • Paris

Non-American human Starfleet personnel from Earth:
  • Reed
  • Sato
  • Scotty
  • Sulu
  • Uhura
  • Chekov
  • Picard
  • Worf (in a way, he is Russian)
  • O'Brian

If becomes even worse if you count all the anglophones as "Americans" in the above lists...

Now, if we assume that this is sort of representative for Earth's population, we can conclude that America is the most populous of the surviving countries after WW3. Today, America has a bout 5% of Earth's population, in the centuries after WW3, it seems to be more like 60%. :p

And many countries simply don't seem to exist any more.
