Will English ever be overtaken as the leading language in the next 100 years?

How long will English maintain its hegemony? I say for at least 100+ years, because while yes China is becoming a world power, their language is incredibly difficult to learn, as nearly all other languages have alphabets, Chinese, along with Japanese, Korean don't. The lack of ability to connect sounds to writing I believe is a mive gap which is why Chinese will never be a lingua franca. Also, English will maintain its power because the basics are very easy to learn, as the lack of gender, adjective and noun agreement, and easy verb conjugation helps the learner, and makes up for the pronunciation and spelling problems. French will not be big again as it was before WWI, because France and the French speaking world is far smaller and less influential than the English speaking world, which includes US, UK, Canada, Australia, South Africa, etc. NATO has two founding members who speak English, also the G8. German is only spoken in Germany, Austria, and Lichtenstein with a smattering in Belgium. Spanish is big, but concentrated in Latin America, which is very economically uninfluential. This is why English I believe will be big for the next 100+ years.
