On the other hand, people who speak the dominant language tend to add only those national and/or international languages that are as or more powerful than their own. Simply put, people in power tend not to learn the languages of the less powerful. This is the scenario commonly observed in the kingdom of Thailand, as well as in other developing countries in the world.
