This video is about the ten most widely spoken languages in the world, measured in two ways: by the number of native speakers, and by the total number of speakers (including second language speakers). I hope you enjoy it and learn something from it!

I speak English and Spanish, and when I went to Paris, 2 years ago, people would rather talk to me in Spanish than English, in all of the tourists places, I was able to survive with my Spanish, not English. Not to mention Italy, every time I wanted to ask questions in English people would say “No comprendo” but if I say Spanish, they would smile and talk to me in Italian. But definitely, English is the language if you are traveller or businessman or woman.

I am focusing on learning the 6 Official Languages of the United Nations: English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Russian and Arabic. I am an American English speaker with a M.A. in Linguistics and focus on 3 areas when deciding what languages to learn: population growth, economic growth, and colonial empires. Population Growth: French [19 African nations], Arabic [Egypt], Hindustani [India, Pakistan], Bengali [Bangladesh]. Economic growth: Mandarin [China - Manufacturing], Indonesian + Malay [banking +business], Portuguese [Brazil], German (strongest economy in the E.U.), and Japanese (very industrious), and Colonial Empires (despite their faults, provided common trade languages): British/Americans -English (English has huge growth in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, and the Philippines) Spanish Empire (Mexico is the largest Spanish speaking nation), French Empire (growth in Africa), Portuguese Empire (for Brazil's huge population+ Angola and Mozambique), Arab Empire 600-1200 (that moved Arabic through North Africa all the way to Spain), Russian [USSR] bridging Europe & Asia, Mandarin as the language of the CPC [remember China has nearly 300 languages]. Best of luck to all language learners!

As a Russian speaker,I can speak Russian fluently as my native language. Besides,it's not a big challenge for me to speak English as I've been learning this language since the first school year. Spanish is also familiar for me as the second foreign language I started learning two years ago. So,I can speak all three of them in conclusion. To be honest,it's absolutely fantastic to understand what foreigners talk or write about.This impressive feeling really relieves my study and makes it more interesting! P. S. Regarding to the question,in my opinion,the most important language is still English cause a huge portion of the Internet information is in English.However,I don't exclude the probability of Spanish and Chinese becoming the new international languages which will be learned worldwide in future.

I didn't put Indian languages in the East list because many Indians understand English and use it on a daily basis, therefore those languages are not that big compared to the other eastern languages that I mentioned. In the case of Portuguese, that language is practically only spoken in Brazil and Portugal. In the other hand, Spanish is spoken in the whole American continent and Spain, and French is spoken and studied in many parts of the Americas and Europe. Portuguese is big but I think that French is slightly more popular.

Furthermore it is used by many groups of Moroccan, Turkish and Indonesian immigrants in the Netherlands and it is studied on more than 150 universities world wide. Dutch immigrants and their relatives in the US (Holland, Michigan) speak Dutch as their home language.

Amazing list, informative as always and I completely agree with your views: total number of speakers matter the most, and languages that spread across different regions and continents are definetly more important than those that are limited to one country or region alone. You could have alos included a reference about the 6 official United Nations languages, since we’re ranking them according to their level of influence

Learning more about the Eight Great poets of Persian with lockdown these days, it's noted that Persian lost its significance after 1979-1980. Clergy took over Iran & Soviets took Afghanistan. Yet it sustained the moments & evolved after conquests of Alexander, Arabs & Mongols. A language very soothing to listens.

This is a very good remark but that doesn’t surprise me much because there is 5 teams from south America that qualified for the world cup, so it’s already 1 spanish speaking country in half of the groups (teams from the same confederation cannot face each other and brazil is a Portuguese speaking country) plus Spain, Costa Rica and Mexico who regularly qualifies and the newbie Panama. Now it is true that Spain or Mexico could have faced a south American team in a lot of different scenarios, that’s why this scenario is unique but still fairly plausible. The same way we could also imagine a world cup with one french speaking in every groups, with 5 teams from African french speaking countries, let’s say Côte d’Ivoire Cameroon Algeria Tunisia Morocco plus 3 uefa teams like France Belgium Switzerland or 1 concacaf team instead of 1 uefa team like canada 😂😂

That being said, knowing English I already can speak with a whole lot of people lol and that's so nice! In addition to that, I am quite proficient in Italian and now I'm studying Dutch. I feel that languages are the essence of the human being and it is something so beautiful and fun to spend your time with. It brings enormous cultural enrichment. No one who knows more than two languages (or even more than one) is "poor in spirit" or intellectually weak.
