Edith Bean · Answer 1

English often serves as a lingua franca throughout South and Southeast Asia because the British established their powers and rules over the south and South East Asia.

After World War 2, France became a lingua franca. But the widespread use of English in business, education, technology, science, radio, aviation, and entertainment make it as a lingua franca throughout the South and South East Asia.
