The most important lingua francas of our civilization are Latin and English These two main languages have influenced legal systems all over the world.

I have spent many years writing the first bilingual legal dictionary in Nicaragua, and probably in Central America. This dictionary is a useful reference in Spanish and English speaking countries, particularly to lawyers, investors, managers, translators, diplomats, students, etc. in today´s globalized world. The Work contains over 44,000 legal terms and phrases in both languages, including terms used in Latin America.

Globalization has brought me legal documents written in English from all over the world for 26 years. These documents may come from Russia, China, Europe, Taiwan, USA, Australia, etc. Obviously, there are differences in meanings in the different legal systems. Yet, globalization forces us to seek the best and most appropriate terms and phrases to perfect legal documents.

Specialized dictionaries written in Spain do not contain some of the terms used in Latin America. These dictionaries usually do not take into consideration the influence of legal terms used by Hispanics in New Mexico, Arizona, Florida, California, New York, etc. Latin American Spanish borrows many terms used in US Hispanic communities. My dictionary includes new terms and it is a contribution to improve international communication: the word stock includes some financial, economic, accounting, banking, and business terms relating to law.

Today’s lingua franca among the different regions of the world is English. Thera are 800 million people speaking English as a foreign language. English will continue influencing legal matters in two or three centuries. In spite of climate change or an asteroid hitting the earth, the English language will still be used in future space stations, lunar or Martian colonies, etc.

Finally, this bilingual legal dictionary—English-Spanish/Spanish-English— for more effective international communication is availabler in the US, check youtube International Legal Communication.

RUSSIAN NAVY STRIPED SHIRT LONG SLEEVED TELNYASHKA (XL) [Made in Moscow, Russia. Size: XL. Material: Cotton. Long sleeves] [A telnyashka is a knitted sailor's undershirt with dark blue and white stripes -- these are just a few lines in a dictionary, but contained within them is an entire life: the life and history of a garment known and loved by all. A telnyashka, as this type of sailor's garment is known, appeared during the era of sailing fleets. In the second half of the 19th century, white and blue stripes were added to the shirt for practical reasons: sailors working on masts in this shirt were highly visible on decks against the background of the sky, sea, and sails. Apart from that, the telnyashka, in comparison with other uniforms, was very practical: it was warm, snugly fit the body, didn't interfere with free movement during any activity, was easy to wash, and almost never wrinkled. Its colors were also those of the Andreivsky flag, and reminded all of the sea and ships. And not by chance, its informal name, truly a national and beloved element of sea equipment, sounded proud and significant: the soul of the sea! The word telnyashka comes from the Russian word telo, which means body. Indeed, this shirt lives up to its affectionate name, which describes how it fits the body like a glove, keeping it warm in the stormiest of seas]
