The other day, while sitting on the tram, I came across a public transport announcement system that switched from Hungarian to English. This was one such incident when I began to realize just how multilingualism is increasingly recognized in public places, accommodating diverse populations. It makes me reflect how these multilingual announcements are important to let everybody move around the city in comfort. Raised with multiple languages, I was constantly made to realize the value of being able to understand and be understood. Through these announcements, it really underlined how much access to language can add to public services and to the inclusivity of a city.
