<<Europe is the most developed and powerful territory--ha. Europe has 170 million more people and a GDP EQUAL to the United States of America. Europe has the POTENTIAL to be the most developed territory; however the Bulgarias, Serbias, Romanias, Albanias, Ukraines and, you get the picture, of the world have a half century of catching up to do. >>

European Union 14,527,140 (35% of world GDP)
United States 13,244,550


Total european population more than 650 million inhabitants.

This GPD counts only the 25 EU states, not the 30 others... so yes, Europe is the most rich and economic territory of the world.

EU is by far the most commercial area, the most touristic, the most cultural etc.

Why the USA GPD is more important by inhabitants? The wealth are unevenly distributed, the rich Americans are very numerous, but the average American is not more rich than an European.

Gini coefficient (The Gini coefficient is a measure of inequality of a distribution of income):

We see that the country of "Freedom" isn't the country of equality, the USA have the same inequalities that China... Wow...

***************************************

US economy - $13.22 trillion
EU economy - $13.74 trillion

BUT, remember that the EU's population is 490 million, whereas America's population is 300 million.

So it is the EU that really lags behind the US. The economy of the EU is only SLIGHTLY larger, a TINY BIT larger than the economy of the US despite the fact that the EU population is MUCH larger than that of the US (490 million to 300 million).

Which obviously means that not only are Americans much more productive than EU citizens but they are much richer - the EU's GSP per capita is only $29,400 whereas America's is $43,500.

And the EU has 27 states, not 25.

Yes, unevenly distributed (Gini coefficient, result, an average American is poorer so much otherwise than French or Germans... Long live the American democracy.
Multibillionaire are divided the American economy, you can criticize after our social demonstrations, but us, we live better!

Parenthèse sur la linguistique
[
Votre gouvernement vous enseigne le patriotisme et le chauvinisme américain telle est l'image que vous adorez montrer, n'est-ce pas Adam? À côté de ça le "franchouillard parisien" est bien médiocre...
Le GDP, ça ne vaut rien.
Seul l'indicateur Gini (Corrado Gini, un statisticien italien) qui est un coefficient pour démontrer que des ressources en abondance mais inégalement réparties ne font pas pour autant un pays développé, nous prouve certaines réalités insoupsonnées.

Ne vaut-il pas mieux vivre pauvre est heureux, que vivre millionaire et taciturne?

Deux contextes différents et totalement opposés sont ceux de la France et des Etats-Unis.
Un patriotisme presque passionel et triomphant, contre la désilusion et la recherche de la compréhension de ce Monde, on peut faire un parallèle à la Rome et la Grèce antique: l'une hégémoniale et impériale, qui fonce dans le tas; et l'autre embourbée dans des reflexions philosophiques, politiques et existentielles complexes.

Well, my Frog mates:

1. French is more important in the Diplomatic field, because is only spoken by Diplomatics, civil servants and two or three policemen in the former French colonies. For instance, in Congo is spoken by 4% of population. It is almost no spoken.

2. French is not a global language. No es un idioma global. Le français est une merde.

3.French is very weak in Asia. In the Americas it is only spoken in a province of a country (Quebec, Canada). In Europe is fourth (after English, Russian and German). In Africa...who cares Africa!!

4. It is official in 28 countries and spoken by 128 million people. FRENCH IS NOT IN THE TOP TEN LANGUAGES, AND NEVER WILL BE THERE AGAIN.

5. French is first language (at least spoken by 51% of people) in France and Monaco. In all other French countries is second, third or ... seventh. For instance, in Canada, Belgium or Switzerland is second.

6. The average is very poor 128 million/28 countries is 4,4 m. If you don´t add France, the average is extremely poor.

7. French is the mother tongue of 80 million people. It is 18th IN THE WORLD RANKING. THERE ARE 17 LANGUAGES MORE SPOKEN THAN FRENCH, LIKE TAMIL OR TELUGU (INDIA). Almost all medium languages in Asia will be more spoken than French in the near future.

8. French is like Latin. A waste of time at school. A former subject that is not removed because there are some old teachers and they can´t be fired.

9. There is only a global language: English. In France, Switzerland, Quebec and Belgium almost everybody speak English. So, French is not useful.

10. According to several reports, there will be a change in hierarchy of languages. Chinese, English, Spanish, Arabic, Hindi, and Turkish will be the winners. French, of course, the looser.

I'd like to study Spanish at school but I'm compelled to study English, shit. It stinks.
Macky   Mon Jun 11, 2007 9:49 pm GMT
In my opinion it is tru. It is not spoken in my country, Senegal. In my country everybody speak Wolof, and not French.

French and Arabic are spoken by minoritis in my country. I speak diola too. French very bad.

I don´t know if I helped.

Nocturne Note - languages of the world


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The most commonly used language in the world is Mandarin. Over one billion people speak Mandarin as their mother tongue.

The next most common languages are:

English 500 million
Hindustani 497 million
Spanish 390 million
Russian 280 million
Arabic 250 million
Bengali 210 million
Portugese 190 million
Malay-Indonesian 160 million

These are the most important languages in terms of total population, but the world has 191 countries and over 6800 languages! Many of these languages are limited to very small geographic areas or small ethnic populations, but they're all fully evolved, complex, culturally rich linguistic systems.

Important languages in business and for Internet service providers

The languages that are important in international business, as an Internet service provider, depend largely on the specific business you are in, the service you provide, and where you are focusing your marketing efforts. In general, we can say that the following languages are key for most international service providers:

English

German

Italian

Japanese

Spanish

What makes a language important to business? It's partly a matter of target population, and it's partly the affluence of each population and their willingness to do business outside their local communities or nations.

Important languages in science and technology

The languages that are important in the fields of science and technology are arguably the following:

English

German

Russian

Spanish

What makes a language important to science and technology? It's primarily the amount of science being done in a given linguistic group, and partly the accessibility of that language to the larger scientific and technical community (either through bilingualism or through machine-mediated translation).
