Abstract
The percentage of professional literature in various languages which is consulted by palynologists working in the different language areas has been determined by analyzing lists of references accompanying scientific papers and by means of questionnaires sent to the authors of said papers. Both methods led to rather similar results. In each of the four major language areas (English, Russian, French, German), the highest percentage of literature consulted is that which is written in the vernacular; in the French and German language areas, English assumes the second place. Elsewhere in the world the order of importance of the various languages for scientific palynological communication generally is: English, German, French, the native language, and Russian
