English has emerged as the dominant global language, playing a crucial role in both international business and diplomacy. As the preferred medium of communication across multinational corporations, global markets, and international organizations, English facilitates negotiation, trade, and policy-making by providing a common linguistic ground. This article explores how English functions as a bridge between diverse cultures, enabling effective collaboration in cross-border economic and political arenas. It also examines the advantages of using English, including its widespread adoption, standardization, and clarity, while addressing the challenges it poses, such as linguistic inequality and cultural bias. Finally, the article considers the future of English in a rapidly evolving global landscape, marked by technological advancements and shifting geopolitical power. Through this analysis, the article highlights the indispensable yet complex role of English in shaping global communication today.
