“Languages for the Future”



The Languages for the Future report identifies Spanish, Arabic, French,
Mandarin Chinese, German, Portuguese, Italian, Russian, Turkish and
Japanese as the languages most vital to the UK over the next 20 years. They
were chosen based on economic, geopolitical, cultural and educational
factors including the needs of UK businesses, the UK’s overseas trade
targets, diplomatic and security priorities, and prevalence on the internet.
