As a multilingual person who takes in entertainment across two or three languages, this was a joy to read. Do you think we're heading toward a handful of globally dominant entertainment languages, or will any language have a genuine shot at producing breakout art and content?
I think any language could success if/when it gets enough investment and funding. The ones pushing for that space right now are Korean, Spanish, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese entertainment but I believe many more would follow.

I would bet on these languages as first movers too.
