We often underestimate how important a language is for people, especially English speakers. English language proficiency becomes a vital skill in the daily life of individuals across the English-speaking world, spanning from the United States to South Africa, from Northern Ireland to Hong Kong. It is an important part of their culture and their everyday lifestyle. This is why people continue to speak their native tongue, such as the Celtic languages in Northern Ireland or the indigenous languages in Papua New Guinea, even when they immigrate to another country like the Cayman Islands or Puerto Rico. It is a way for people to keep themselves attached to their roots. However, language is also a way for the state to keep its people united. This is evident in countries like Sri Lanka, where regional languages coexist with the national language, creating a multilingual society. Even multilingual societies have one lingua franca, such as English in many Asian countries, that makes them feel connected with each other. Cultures and languages are so important to nations, like the Solomon Islands with its indigenous language diversity, that they want immigrants to follow them too. This is why immigrants often have trouble adapting because they have to learn a new vernacular and culture, facing the language barrier that comes with integrating into a new society.
