Nice, well done lads :)
And I thought French was 2nd most popular language on Earth?
1)Mandarin Chinese
2)Spanish
3)English
common knowledge, BUT lalo said 400 000 000 000, I think he meant there are more galaxies in which spanish is spoken, hohoho
Eh? English is more common than both of those put together isn't it??
Ah I am thinking of the other thing, you are "most speakers" I was thinking most common as in most used around the world.
Edit again: Yeah, as I thought, English is used in more countries around the world but isn't the most spoken...
Then it would be, English - French - Spanish
No.
By no. of native speakers: what deset said.
By number of total speakers: 1) english 2) mandarin chinese 3) spanish (or maybe hindi?) French is way behind.
According to wikipedia, about 1.500.000.000 people speak english, 1.200.000.000 people speak chinese and 500.000.000 spanish.
French, "only" 200.000.000.
I meant 400 million of ppl speak spanish, and it's the second language with the largest number of speakers according to the latest researches.
French lol is way behind, no one gives a f@#! about french and the number of students of that subject has been dropping in the UK, the same happens with german.
French used to be important in Scotland mainly because historical situations, some queens that got laid with frenchs and shit xd
Edit: your figures are right Rok; nevertheless, most of those english speakers are from china and india lol.
Then why the hell all the info on the internet wrong lol?
What I seen was, # of native speakers, 1) mandirin 2) spanish 3) english and when I check to see what's spoken in most countries it says 1) english 2) french 3) spanish
That means there is a bunch of smelly frenchs in every single country.
