1) Mandarin

 

Number of speakers:1 billion+

 

surprise, the most widely spoken language on the planet is based in the most populated country on the planet. Beating second-place English by a2 to1 ratio

 

2) English

 

Number of speakers:508 million

 

While English doesn’t have the most speakers, it is the official language of more countries than any other language. Its speakers hail from all around the world, including New Zealand, the U.S., Australia, England, Zimbabwe, the Caribbean, Hong Kong, South Africa, and Canada. We’d tell you more about English, but you probably feel pretty comfortable with the language already

 

3) Hindi

 

Number of speakers:497 million

 

Hindi is the primary language of India’s crowded population, and it encompasses a huge number of dialects. While many predict that the population of India will soon surpass that of China, the prominence of English in India prevents Hindustani from surpassing the most popular language in the world

 

4) Spanish

 

Number of speakers:392 million

 

Aside from all of those kids who take it in high school, Spanish is spoken in just about every South American and Central American country, not to mention Spain, Cuba, and the U.S. There is a particular interest in Spanish in the U.S., as many English words are borrowed from the language, including: tornado, bonanza, patio, quesadilla, enchilada, and taco grande supreme.

 

 

5) Arabic

 

Number of speakers:346 

 

millionArabic, one of the world’s oldest languages, is spoken in the Middle East, with speakers found in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt. Furthermore, because Arabic is the language of the Koran, millions of Moslems in other countries speak Arabic as well. So many people have a working knowledge of Arabic, in fact, that in1974 it was made the sixth official language of the United Nations.

 

6) Russian

 

Number of speakers:277 million

 

One of the six languages in the UN, Russian is spoken not only in the Mother Country, but also in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and the U.S
