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!

Very informative! ❤️ You got a new subscriber today.

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.

Fatortu Exactly. 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.

A mi me gusta español. Es la lengua no1 de mi corazón! Y también es muy exitoso! Vivo en Polonia y hace unos 20 años el español era algo como ''un idioma exótico'' que casi nadie conocía. Luego, se presentaron las primeras telenovelas, peliculas, la música latina entró y... BANG!!! Hoy en día es una de las más populares lenguas extranjeras, cada escuela de idiomas ofrece clases de español.

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
