Top 10 Spoken Languages Around the World
June 27th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
Ever wonder what languages rank in at the top 10?
- Chinese
- Arabic
- Spanish
- English
- Hindi
- Portuguese
- Bengali
- Russian
- Japanese
- Standard German
According to Wikipedia Ethnologue French is ranked at #11 and Italian at #18. I would have thought French and Italian are spoken more around the world than Bengali and Portuguese, furthermore ranked at the top 5, but surprisingly not. We should also recognize how these languages have populated around the world and not only in the countries they are originally from.
