Most Spoken Languages in the World

[@thiagohenrique0810]

India alone already has more than 1 billion people, and China also has more than a billion. Naturally, this calculation is wrong.

[@CarlYan]

Possibly. It might also imply India and China are due for a population decline by 2100 or that not all Indians and Chinese would learn Hindi and Mandarin. India has 22 major languages and China has over 200. It be nice to know what factor was considered when calculating 🧐

[@themeerkat5157]

props to the guy for time traveling to 2100 and going back just so he could make this video for us ❤❤❤

[@devapath8951]

and lie to us that in 2100 less than 2B ppl speak English. My guess is that till the end of 2040 at least 2B ppl will speak English.

[@Theestallionfan400]

@@devapath8951 so you think that in the next 16 years 850 million people will learn to speak English? That’s just unrealistic

[@devapath8951]

@@Theestallionfan400 Depends on how intense globalisation will be. Most influencing means are internet, teaching english in the schools and tourism also. I'm just mortal, can't predict what will happen. That was just my guess. I admit that it is perhaps less likely than more likely. EDIT: Many more people living in India may become English speakers in the near future.

[@DataPrism2512]

This animated chart is incredibly intuitive and engaging; I can easily follow the data trends!

[@ebridgewater]

I presume this is not only first language? A video for first languages only would be interesting. I imagine Mandarin would be top today?

[@zach2382]

Yes, mandarin would be the top

[@tryagainnoob101]

Even if thats the case, it is still super inaccurate... Portuguese is like the 5th or 6th most spoken language in the world. Just on native speakers the chart is off by 40-60 million people.

Meanwhile Spanish keeps getting stronger and stronger on the American Continents, the American Continents that are majority Spanish-speaking already, Spanish is still getting stronger.

[@bowser3017]

​@@RidleyScottOwnsFailedDictators What does it mean that French is dying in Africa? Africans change to English?

Yeah I agree this wrong

[@spanisharcanine8284]

@@RidleyScottOwnsFailedDictatorsbut many countries in Latin America are going to see their populations begin to peak and plateau before beginning to fall (Mexico, Colombia, Cuba, Argentina). Meanwhile, the population of French speaking Africa has some of the highest birth rates in the world and is growing very rapidly (Niger, DRC, Chad).

I sincerely doubt that in 1902 everyone in China spoke Mandarin since "Mandarin" was just the language spoken by the people of Beijing (and not spoken by all of China) at that time.

[@zach2382]

Sure

[@muhammedjaseemshajeef6781]

Mandarin is the language of most china then and now also not only Beijing

[@Leader-of-army-Lord-2007]

I am from the Middle East and this world is strange. They started learning Arabic in the fifties and sixties for the sake of money. Salaries in Middle Eastern countries at that time and until now are the highest in the world. At that time, salaries in Kuwait alone were five times the salaries in America, and they did not care about them before that for the sake of culture and history.

[@sue9553]

The chart does show French eventually surpassing Spanish, which surprised me. Maybe it's because French-speaking countries in Africa are growing so rapidly? I don't know.

[@RidleyScottOwnsFailedDictators]

@@sue9553 But most of Africa does not even speak French. If anything, French is dying out in Africa, even some former French African colonies turned countries like Mali got rid of French as an official language because French was spoken by so few. Meanwhile Spanish, which is already pervasive in the Americas, keeps growing in the Americas, in the US, Canada, Brazil, and even in Belize. There seems to be an anti-Hispanic bias to whatever study that these future projections are based on. Spanish will not be less than French, ever, unless something catastrophic or drastic occurs that this study knows about.

[@sue9553]

@@RidleyScottOwnsFailedDictatorsThe prediction that French would overtake Spanish definitely struck me as odd. I doubt I'll live far enough into the future to find out for sure though lol.
