This paper examines the importance of language in international migration from multiple angles by studying the role of linguistic proximity, widely spoken languages, linguistic enclaves and language-based immigration policy requirements. To this aim we collect a unique dataset on immigration flows and stocks in 30 OECD destinations from all world countries over the period 1980-2010, and construct a set of linguistic proximity measures. Migration rates increase with linguistic proximity and with English at destination. Softer linguistic requirements for naturalization and larger linguistic communities at destination encourage more migrants to move. Linguistic proximity matters less when local linguistic network are larger.
本文通过研究语言接近度、广泛使用的语言、语言飞地和基于语言的移民政策要求的作用，从多个角度审视了语言在国际移民中的重要性。为此，我们收集了1980 - 2010年期间来自世界各国、前往30个经合组织目的地的移民流动和存量的独特数据集，并构建了一组语言接近度指标。移民率随着语言接近度以及目的地使用英语的情况而增加。入籍的语言要求较为宽松以及目的地有更大的语言社区会鼓励更多移民前往。当当地语言网络规模较大时，语言接近度的影响就较小。
