Can language be a barrier?

I am not sure how many will agree or disagree! but in my opinion language is definitely a barrier if not common between two humans.

Almost all the problems related to people can be solved if the two parties can communicate properly and in an effective way. This hold true for professional as well as personal life.I would take the leverage to say that communication plays a more vital role on personal front. Their are various way one can communicate and fill the gaps but still the easiest way is the most important way!

We all want to have the ability to speak and to speak fluently which helps in communicating our thoughts, problems etc, this is where we need a common language. If you are stuck with a person in a room who does not know the language you speak then for obvious reasons you will not be able to communicate or build a relation. 

We are glad as being an Indian most of us know somewhat ENGLISH and this helps us talk and get the work done! However do you think a secondary language can help us make friends, can help build a relation? It can get the work done, message passed BUT not really sure if it will be able to convey the same feeling. Which is why most often we see people speaking same language are together and have small groups created.
Now I would agree its not just the language but also the background or culture we are coming from makes us join the groups as we feel comfortable and relaxed!!!

Their are various presentations and sessions that tells us how to overcome the language barrier, but in my honest opinion we cannot have a flourishing relation with someone until we speak a common language.
