Important languages in business and for Internet service providers

The languages that are important in international business, as an Internet service provider, depend largely on the specific business you are in, the service you provide, and where you are focusing your marketing efforts. In general, we can say that the following languages are key for most international service providers:

English

German

Italian

Japanese

Spanish

What makes a language important to business? It's partly a matter of target population, and it's partly the affluence of each population and their willingness to do business outside their local communities or nations.

Important languages in science and technology

The languages that are important in the fields of science and technology are arguably the following:

English

German

Russian

Spanish

What makes a language important to science and technology? It's primarily the amount of science being done in a given linguistic group, and partly the accessibility of that language to the larger scientific and technical community (either through bilingualism or through machine-mediated translation).

Answer 2

Your question is: Next to English, what is the most popular, important language in the world?

English is the lingua franca of the business world - whether in America, Europe or Asia. So it is very important in the sense that business contracts and stock quotations are done in English among the developed and most of the developing countries. Thus the great economic impact.

However, if we say popularity, Chinese is the most popular language because it's spoken by at least 1 billion people.

I say this because I would have stated here "Chinese" in answer to your question. However, to stick to your question, my answer would be French. In fact, it is the preferred second language in the United Nations. It is spoken in Canada, France, by most Europeans and by many in Africa and some parts of Asia which were former colonies of France.

Answer 3

It is important to distinguish between the amount of people who speak a language and the importance of a language. I think the far east languages or the most spoken, however after English I think that Spanish might be the second in importance.

Answer 4

Hmmm...depends on what for. The four official languages of the UN are English, Spanish, French and Arabic. I think in this day and age technologically speaking Chinese is very important.

Answer 5

Chinese is the most spoken language in the whole world, but as it main concentration of speakers is located within China, it's not that popular worldwide. English is spoken everywhere, and almost all the american continent speaks spanish, which is also spoken in several parts of europe. Arabic should also be one major language...

Answer 6

After English which is used world-wide, in Europe's business world it is German. The most spoken language after English is Mandarin. My son is in China now finishing a 2 year course. Spanish is not used so much in business, so if that is what you are after....what is Spain known for? After it got rid of the Moors and Jews 400+ years ago it went 'dead' and relied only on its wines, and later like many 3rd world countries on the sun = tourists. What would poor ol' Spain do if it didn't have sun for wine, and sun for tourists?

Answer 7

I'd say Chinese as the Chinese populaton is currently growing and the Chinese market is also growing.. So if you don't know how to speak Chinese, how do you work with the Chinese in China? I'll also say Japanese or Spanish or French...

Answer 8

Chinese, Spanish, French

Answer 9
