.,.. Top 10 Most Spoken L a n g u a g e s In The World .. !
.
L a n g u a g e is perhaps the most important function of the human body - it allows us to get sustenance as a child, it allows us to get virtually anything we want as an adult, and it allows us many hours of entertainment through literature, radio, music, and films This list (in order of least to most spoken) summarizes the most important l a n g u a g e s in use today ..10.. French Number of speakers: 129 million Often called the most romantic l a n g u a g e in the world, French is spoken in tons of countries, including Belgium, Canada, Rwanda, Cameroon, and Haiti. Oh, and France too We’re actually very lucky that French is so popular, because without it, we might have been stuck with Dutch Toast, Dutch Fries, and Dutch kissing (ew!) To say HELLO in French, say “Bonjour” : bone-JOOR ..9.. Malay-Indonesian Number of speakers: 159 million Malay-Indonesian is spoken - surprise - in Malaysia and Indonesia. Actually, we kinda fudged the numbers on this one because there are many dialects of Malay, the most popular of which is Indonesian But they’re all pretty much based on the same root l a n g u a g e , which makes it the ninth most-spoken in the world Indonesia is a fascinating place; a nation made up of over 13,000 islands it is the sixth most populated country in the world Malaysia borders on two of the larger parts of Indonesia (including the island of Borneo), and is mostly known for its capital city of Kuala Lumpur To say HELLO in Indonesian, say “Selamat pagi ” : se-LA-maht PA-gee ..8.. Portuguese Number of speakers: 191 million Think of Portuguese as the little l a n g u a g e that could. In the 12th Century, Portugal won its independence from Spain and expanded all over the world with the help of its famous explorers like Vasco da Gama and Prince Henry the Navigator (Good thing Henry became a navigator . . . could you imagine if a guy named “Prince Henry the Navigator” became a florist?) Because Portugal got in so early on the exploring game, the l a n g u a g e established itself all over the world, especially in Brazil (where it’s the national l a n g u a g e ), Macau, Angola, Venezuela, and Mozambique To say HELLO in Portuguese, say “Bom dia” : bohn DEE-ah ..7.. Bengali Number of speakers: 211 million In Bangladesh, a country of 120+ million people, just about everybody speaks Bengali And because Bangladesh is virtually surrounded by India (where the population is growing so fast, just breathing the air can get you pregnant), the number of Bengali speakers in the world is much higher than most people would expect To say HELLO in Bengali, say “Ei Je” : EYE-jay ..6.. Arabic Number of speakers: 246 million Arabic, one of the world’s oldest l a n g u a g e s, 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 l a n g u a g e 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 in 1974 it was made the sixth official l a n g u a g e of the United Nations To say HELLO in Arabic, say “Al salaam a’alaykum” : Ahl sah-LAHM ah ah-LAY-koom ..5.. Russian Number of speakers: 277 million Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and Yakov Smirnoff are among the millions of Russian speakers out there. Sure, we used to think of them as our Commie enemies Now we think of them as our Commie friends. One of the six l a n g u a g e s in the UN, Russian is spoken not only in the Mother Country, but also in Belarus, Kazakhstan, and the U.S. (to name just a few places). To say HELLO in Russian, say “Zdravstvuite” : ZDRAST-vet-yah ..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 l a n g u a g e, including: tornado, bonanza, patio, quesadilla, enchilada, and taco grande supreme To say HELLO in Spanish, say “Hola” : OH-la ..3.. Hindustani Number of speakers: 497 million Hindustani is the primary l a n g u a g e of India’s crowded population, and it encompasses a huge number of dialects (of which the most commonly spoken is Hindi) 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 l a n g u a g e in the world If you’re interested in learning a little Hindi, there’s a very easy way: rent an Indian movie. The film industry in India is the most prolific in the world, making thousands of action/romance/musicals every year To say HELLO in Hindustani, say “Namaste” : Nah-MAH-stay ..2.. English Number of speakers: 508 million While English doesn’t have the most speakers, it is the official l a n g u a g e of more countries than any other l a n g u a g e 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 l a n g u a g e already. Let’s just move on to the most popular l a n g u a g e in the world . To say HELLO in English, say “What’s up, freak?” : watz-UP-freek ..1.. Mandarin Number of speakers: 1 billion+ Surprise, surprise, the most widely spoken l a n g u a g e on the planet is based in the most populated country on the planet Beating second-place English by a 2 to 1 ratio, but don’t let that lull you into thinking that Mandarin is easy to learn. Speaking Mandarin can be really tough, because each word can be pronounced in four ways : or tones: and a beginner will invariably have trouble distinguishing one tone from another But if over a billion people could do it, so could you. Try saying hello! To say HELLO in Mandarin, say “Ni hao” (Nee HaOW). : Hao” is pronounced as one syllable, but the tone requires that you let your voice drop midway, and then raise it again at the end ..I Hope You Enjoyed Reading It..
