List of broadcasting languages by country

• Foreign country and ethnicity: an external service aimed at foreign societies in general. Its purpose may be information about the country of origin, about the target country from an outside point of view as well as missionary or commercial purposes.
• Foreign territory: an external service aimed at expatriates. A special audience among expatriates is armed forces personnel, for whom broadcasting is often done not only from the home country, but also from within the country of deployment.
• Foreign ethnicity: a service for foreign communities within the country of broadcasting, which in turn is to be distinguished from broadcasting for indigenous and other non-foreign groups.
