That is a nonsense!

You perhaps don't know the alphabetical order. I explain you: first E English, second F French, third P Portuguese and finally S Spanish. But the most important is the number of speakers in the Americas:

English- some 330 million

French- some 7-9 million and in decline

Portuguese- some 195 million

Spanish- some 400 million
