lingua-franca
Significado: A language systematically used to communicate between people who do not share a native language, serving as a common bridge across linguistic communities.
A lingua franca may be a simplified trade language, a colonial legacy, or a dominant world language adopted for international communication. English currently functions as the global lingua franca in business, science, and diplomacy. The term does not imply any judgement about the language's complexity or prestige.
