(Phys.org)—Is there a connection between language and fame? A recent study has found that the number of famous people a country produces is more strongly correlated to that country's language than to its wealth or population. So a person born in an English-speaking country, where the language has a large global influence, has a greater chance of becoming famous than someone born in a country in which the language is less globally influential.
