Mastering the mother tongue, or at most having English as a second language, is usually sufficient for those who want to buy, but not to sell, establish valuable contacts, investigate, interpret and correctly compare data and market information, or access opportunities both in the fastest growing economies, as well as the increasingly important consumer niches present in immigrant communities around the world.
In summary, the lack of languages Ecuador Mobile Number List has a very high cost in a global scenario where it is not enough to be able to offer a quality product or service: it is necessary to have the tools to make it understood by the potential client. This is a fairly widespread problem in our country, but it is certainly not the only place where this happens – several educational systems around the world agree on showing rather disappointing results in language preparation; Furthermore, learning European languages, the most traditional and profitable option currently, has a disproportionate importance compared to languages with a greater number of speakers, and used in the economies close to positioning themselves among the top positions in the world ranking.
Meanwhile, English, the third language with the most speakers in the world and the first in number of countries where it is the de facto or de jure official language , also continues to be the first language online, and the most profitable in terms of advertising, although giving way gradually due to the increase in the creation of content in other languages, and the audiences that prefer content in their language are growing.
Therefore, without attempting to offer an exhaustive list – since, in accordance with the classification of languages by number of speakers and its implications for the future of global trade, we do not go into the economic importance of languages such as Italian, Italy being currently the fourth most important intra-community country for commercial exchange with Spain, or Polish, with Poland among the first fifteen destinations for Spanish exports outside the euro zone – we present a summary of the languages considered key for internationalization.
Chinese has been at the top of the most sought - after business languages for several years, and with good reason; Only the official Mandarin , spoken as a first or second language in China, and in several of the most active economies in Southeast Asia, exceeds the number of speakers of English, French and Spanish (considered key tools for foreign trade) combined . Additionally, it is the second most spoken language on the Internet after English, and second in publication of online content and printed texts.
Hindi , the official language of India, is also growing in importance in the sectors of commerce, science and technology, tourism, communications, media and entertainment, particularly in Southeast Asia and parts of the Middle East and Africa. In total, the number of Hindi speakers (including speakers of derived and similar dialects) is counted at about 280 million people, according to data from the 2001 census of India; Note also that many classify Urdu , the national language of Pakistan, as Hindi speakers due to the numerous similarities and common origin of both languages. On the other hand, it is also important to note the importance of Bengali , the language of Bangladesh and the Indian states of the Bengal region, one of the main economic and trade centers of Southeast Asia, with more than 200 million speakers.
Despite losing ground as the lingua franca of commerce and the Internet, the internationalization of any company without a correct command of English is still inconceivable , and it is foreseeable that this will continue to be the case in the future; On the other hand, it is worth highlighting the position of the United Kingdom as the fifth largest EU trade destination, and the US as the first non-EU country in importance for Spanish exports.
