I don't think it's possible for the English language to be forgotten. Possibly when the sun explodes in like 4 billion years... There are 300 million people in the U.S. and lets assume that 90% of the population can speak English. So 270 million people in the U.S. speak english. Then about 15% of the rest of the world speak English, so about another 640 million people speak English. Overall, about 910 million speak English. With the growing population of Earth, many many more people will learn English. In a few millenia, The population will get to over 7 billion (current about 6.4 billion) maybe tens of millenia. And the amount of English speakers will hit over 1 billion. So until the sun explodes and takes Mercury, Venus, Earth, and possibly Mars with it, the English Language will never die.
