Chinese
Mandarin, the official language of China and Taiwan, is by far the most
widely spoken language of the world, surpassing English in terms of numbers of speakers, in a 2:1 ratio.
Spanish
Although it might not be perceived as a language of business, with 405 million native speakers, Spanish is
the second most commonly spoken language after Mandarin, so it’s no
surprise to see it our list.
Arabic
Arabic is spoken by 295 million speakers worldwide, and it’s the official language of 28 different
countries, including many of the dynamic, growing economies in the
Middle East and Africa.
German
German has a total of 210 million speakers worldwide. It is also the fourth most used language online.
It’s also the language spoken in some of the most economically important countries in Europe.
French
Around 220 million people also speak French as a second language, and that number is projected to rise to 750 million by 2050, possibly even
overtaking English and Mandarin.
Japanese
Japanese boasts 130 million speakers located primarily in Japan,
which happens to be the third largest economy in the world. It’s
also the sixth language for Internet users with e-commerce sales in
2016 of $88.06 billion.

Europe and in Russia, it’s the eighth most common language in the world and the second most used in website
