The most studied languages

To Mr. Hmmmmmmm

We know officially, thanks to SIL-Ethonolgue, the expert and neutral Guru of languages, that Spanish is not in the top 5 languages with high number of secondary speakers, and NEVER WAS, IS, AND WILL BE.

Not only English, French, Russian, Arabic, Portuguese and Chinese will be more important than Spanish. Even Hottentot, Telugu, Miao, and Hiri-Motu will be spoken beyond their turfs, more widespread and more important than Spanish.

So, please go to your Hispanic doctor and get more COCAINE and MARIJUANA raised in hispanic countries like yours to so that your hallucination will get worse and don't post non-sense messages so that your format will not be copied and don't eat more hyena shits, and study Hindi to understand all hispanic people in your country. Be a good Hindu and start chanting the following:

ॐ सह नाववतु |
सह नौ भुनक्तु |
सह वीर्यं करवावहै |
तेजस्विनावधीतमस्तु |
मा विद्विषावहै ||

May we be protected together.
May we be nourished together.
May we work together with great vigor.
May our study be enlightening
May no obstacle arise between us


PD. Don't worry and be happy! At least your language will be more important than..........ok....Be a good Hindu!!

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Not only French but even Portuguese is more spoken than spanish as secondary and foreign language, and it's also more global.

<<Can't we all accept that people both learn both languages, and that both languages are important?>>

I wholeheartedly endorse your remark. You seem to be one of the very few reasonable persons in this forum. Why can't people simply stop those pointless, childish squabbles over which language is more important than another ?

politically, french is more important than spanish; france's permanent membership on security council, its status as a working language in EU (altho german and english are more widely used and understood in EU) and in numerous intl organizations. English still wins in intl diplomacy tho.

demographically, spanish is more important than french; the large population of hispanofones in north, central and south america. I won't count spain since spanish is not a major language in terms of actual usage across EU.

So which one to learn if u already know english? Mandarin.

Only English is used across the EU. Anyway Spain is a big European country.

<<Only English is used across the EU.>>

That's true. There are in Europe, 6 international languages (OSCE Organization point of view): English, Russian, German, French, Spanish and Italian.

Only English can be used across the EU. All other 5 are important in their influence area.

The most studied languages of European Union are English, German, French, Spanish, Russian and Italian.

French is third and Spanish is fourth. So, the difference is not so big.
