Yes the language will probably be the first barrier, if you want to trade there you need to learn the language or set up a good system to overcome it.

There are also other challenges that are more cultural based, I'm not really experienced in that area so I can't clearly see the challenges ahead. All I know is that they are different community's and social systems so you have to market your products differently. I think its a underestimated aspect.
