Top five multilingual countries you should know about

Multilingual countries are incredibly important for international businesses looking to expand their reach, mainly because they need to know what language they should localize their business in to make the best use of the target market. We at DucthTrans believe that if your target market speaks five different languages in almost equal proportions in one single country; then you should know about that before you spend extensive amounts of money on localizing your business to that market and choose the best option.

South Africa

South Africa has eleven national languages due to its diverse population. The country operates in English but only ten percent of its people speak English. The most commonly spoken language is Afrikaans that is a mix of German and Dutch. There are other nine Bantu languages that are also spoken by a variety of its people.

India

India, the most diverse land in Asia, has eighteen commonly spoken languages among its hundred million people, and it is ranked first in our multilingual countries list. Hindi and English are the languages that are commonly know and bring this nation together. But every major language has its own media that includes news channels, drama channels, and movies. All local languages have a strong audience and strong boards of Media management. Most people can speak three languages, English, Hindi, and their native language. But more common than Hindi is English in India. English is pushed by the Indian government into schools and colleges vigorously as they think of it as an international benefit to the kids.

The knowledge of how and what language is mostly spoken in a region is beneficial to international visitors who may be visiting the country for travel or for business. Knowing a language means knowing the culture. So it is good to know the language if you want to understand the culture completely.
