Linguistic diversity (people speaking different languages and dialects) arises from people living in different groups. For instance, people that live in the south of the United States speak a different kind of English than people that live in the north. This difference is also true of different social groups within the same society, for instance the difference between the English of old people and that of young people.

The reason for this is that language changes all the time. You may have noticed sometimes that someone around you suddenly starts using a new word that you hadn't heard before, and then after a while everybody uses it. This happens all the time, and not only with words, but also with changes in pronunciation, sentence structure or the use and meaning of words. For instance, some people pronounce "new" as you with an n in front of it, while others pronounce it as moo only then with an n instead of an m, the latter one being the new version.

When two groups speak the same language and get separated, the one group makes other changes to the language than the other, which can result in two entirely different languages over a long period of time. The more separated languages are, the more different they are. Foreign people live in foreign countries and are thus so far separated from us that we speak different languages.

Foreign languages exist because different human societies developed their own unique forms of communication over time, leading to a variety of languages around the world. These languages evolved to meet the specific needs and contexts of different cultures and societies. Communication across different languages allows for the exchange of ideas, knowledge, and culture among diverse populations.

You have the same issues and methods, tactics and strategies as in national marketing but the added problems of languages, social issues, conceptions and logistics that are different than here.
