Recommended Posts

Language Native speakers(millions)

Spanish 329M

English 328M

Portuguese 250 M

Arabic 221 M

Hindi 182 M

Bengali 181 M

Russian 144 M

Japanese 122M

Javanese 84.3M

 

or Spanish , but most Spanish speaker countries their economy is not that good , so I think Mandarin have future in becoming common language .

No, it's too hard. At least English is easy.

ughmm...if I am right...more people can speak English than Mandarin though many of their native languages are different...For example in India most states have their own language but most can speak English...

I can see it happening in the future but it's not gonna happen anytime soon. Too many things rely on english. I mean u don't see any web-domains in Mandarin  :lol: I'm sure it will change eventually though. 

I can see it happening at least in African countries , cuz they already speak English as the first language and with how their bonds with china get more deepened I think most African countries would have Chinese as second language .

Mandarin is a bitch to learn to read and write.

And this is only numbers for native speakers. If you counted the number of people in the world who speak English as a second or third language the number of speakers would greatly increase. So I think over all English is used much more internationally.

french is not even in the top 10
schools in my country could've teach us a more useful language than it :omgwtf:

 

I never liked french , it was my nightmare in high school , I wanted to learn Spanish but I was the only one who choose Spanish so they forced me to take french with the rest of the class  :cry:
