I live in Estonia. Official language of our country is Estonian language. Second widespread, but unofficial language is Russian. It is so widespread because Estonia was once part of Soviet Union and many Russians moved there, so there is quite big percent of that nationality living here.

Our main language is supposed to be afrikaans, but naturally the other half of this country want to speak only english and their languages are to difficult to learn or understand. They tend to move all the learning institutions into only engish teaching subjects. Hopefully, one day they will wake up and smell the coffee. You are what you are and nothing can ever change that. We were born english, but raised in afrikaans. Now these people are born afrikaans, but only want to be english. WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm from Bangladesh (near the Eastern part of India, but a separate nation), and the native language spoken there is Bengali, however we call the language Bangla. It's derived from Sanskrit, and also spoken in several provinces of India, such as West Bengal, Assam, and Tripura. Bangladeshi people understand English too, but it's not very widespread. Both Bengali and English are official languages.
