Abstract
This study explores the influence of mother tongue on the efficiency of communication across multilingual settings. While language is a primary vehicle for expressing thoughts and emotions, the nuances embedded within one's native language can shape cognitive patterns, perceptions, and ultimately, communication efficacy. This paper examines how mother tongue affects both verbal and non-verbal communication strategies, with a focus on clarity, speed of information processing, and adaptability in multilingual contexts. Through qualitative and quantitative analyses, including interviews and surveys, the study assesses how linguistic structures, cultural norms, and emotional resonance in ones first language influence the ability to communicate efficiently. Findings suggest that while a shared language facilitates understanding, speakers tend to convey information more effectively and with fewer misunderstandings when communicating in their mother tongue. The implications of these findings underscore the need for intercultural awareness and strategic language support in globalized communication environments, especially in education, healthcare, and international business.
