Languages of the United Nations (UN)

The original official languages of the UN were English, Chinese, French, and Russian, the languages of the permanent members of the UN Security Council. The choice was largely political.

  • English was widely used as an international language, as it was the dominant language of the United States, a superpower.
  • Chinese was the language of a major power as well as the language with the greatest number of speakers.
  • Russian was the language of one of the major powers even though it was not widely spoken outside of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
  • French was chosen because it was still widely considered the international language of diplomacy.
  • Spanish and Arabic were added in 1973, because they were the official languages of many nations.
  • English, French and Spanish are the working languages of the UN General Assembly.
  • English and French are the working languages of the UN Security Council.
