English now just catches all the other words that it doesn't have definitions for and brings them into the language. A lot of Buddhist terminology made it in this way in the 19th century bc English had no direct translation so they just gave the words English definitions, essentially adding them to language.
Even if 100% of humans spoke English as their primary language, we would still have words like Dharma, samsara, nirvana etc.
English will eventually take from every culture every word of significance without a direct translation - these words will be understood by their English definitions to the majority of the global population.
We will still call that amalgamation of global languages English
