Should there be another international language instead of English?

There have already been many in the past and there will certainly be many in the future as social, technological, economic, religious, etc. conditions evolve and different cultures and languages rise to dominance in the world.
English is as transient an international language as Greek, Latin, French, and German were before it over the past 2000+ years. It is impossible to determine at this time what will replace it and when, but something will. It also is not something that can be decided on, all such deliberate attempts to either create (e.g. Esperanto) or legislate an international language have failed and always will fail, as people will use language as they choose.

Are the mortal instruments characters English?
not necessarily. the shadowhunter's home country, Idris, is not in or near England, and the main characters in the mortal instruments live in new York city, yet in the movie many do have English accents. shadowhunters have the accents of wherever they are born, such as if they are born in shanghai, china they will most likely have mandarin Chinese as a first language and English as a second. however, since shadowhunters are taught four or more languages each, they are still able to communicate with other shadowhunters in their common language, English. (if you live in another country where the main language is not English, then the dialogue will be translated into your native language instead of English.)
