I'm not sure about at other businesses but the Software Development company I work for has native speakers of what must be nearly every major language (the only one I haven't come across is Portuguese, and I'm sure that is just because I haven't meet that person yet). For example, the bank of desks I'm sitting at this moment has Greek, Bulgarian, Punjabi, Sri Lankan, Hindi and Russian. It would be quite difficult for me to pick up any of the languages to a standard that could compete with that!
