which language is most widely spoken in the world?

If your question is which language is the most widely spoken worldwide then I think it might be Mandarin, then Spanish and then English. Or is it Spanish then Mandarin...? One or the other anyway :-)

i guess most common spoken langues in order are english french spanish rusian germany

i heard that it is mandarin because china has the biggest population in the world. but i still think english is the most widely spoken language in the world. it is even the language mostly use on the internet!

I think that he most spoken language in the world is English and after that if French.

i think English is the widely spoke language in the world,but Chinese is the large people spoken in the world,more than 1.3 billion people speak Chinese,and few country speak Chinese as their native language.

Highest in population doesn't denote it would be widely spoken. Still there's a chance that Chinese immigrants to other countries speak their native language. The first place goes to Mandarin. Second place is for French. Third for English. Forth place is occupied by Spanish. Fifth place by Esparanto.

I read somewhere that Chinese (mandarin) is the most-spoken language. Their population of billions greatly contributes to this factor and China is climbing up to the steps of the US. Some say that China will soon be bigger than US but I think that's still a long way to go. It's probably because America is slowly losing its middle class while China is building up theirs. (well that's what the book of Trump says) So because China is a great investment, a lot of people have taken a great deal in learning Chinese (mandarin in particular because that's the national language of China - i'm chinese/filipino by the way and I know 2 kinds of chinese langugae) Well so maybe after Chinese is English, then Hindu (India also has a population of a billion i think), then maybe Spanish (a lot of people are part spanish i think,i'm 1/8), then Russian.
