Languanologue # 3

Today we will have a list of the 5 most-widely spoken languages in the world sorted by the number of countries in which the language is spoken. I will consider the languages only if it has been deemed to be spoken in a country if it is the official language of that country or is spoken natively as a first language by a majority of that country's inhabitants.

1. English - English dominates this list and can is also said to be a global language, spoken in about 57 countries all over the world.

2. French - It is spoken in 31 countries, mostly in European and African countries.

3. Spanish - It is spoken in 26 countries and comes in as 3rd in our list, mostly spoken in European and SOuth American countries.

4. Arabic - Spoken in 24 Middle East and African countries.

5. Russian - It is spoken in 11 countries and comes in our list at number 5.
