People don’t “go back” to languages, most of them die over time and there are very few examples of languages making significant come backs. It’s 99.9 to 0.1 language death to come back.
English isn’t going anywhere in the lifetimes of people alive today. It will definitely look and sound different in 100-200-300 years, but every year more people are learning it as a second language, not fewer.
