No. Take for example the German language: Swiss German is spelled
slightly different than "rest-of-the-world" German. In the English
language it is even more obvious: There are difference between British
and American English not only in spelling, but also in the words used.
There may be other examples, where this is more important. What about
the Spanish language?
