A national language is a language intended to bind a country together. It is usually the most widely spoken language in the country, but this is not always the case.
A Lingua Franca is any language that is commonly used across borders, for ease of communication. English is the most widely used lingua franca in the world. French is still a lingua franca in many parts of Europe.
Sometimes, a national language also functions as a Lingua Franca within a country, if that country has many languages. Filipino is the national language of the Philippines, and it is also considered to be a lingua franca within the Philippines because only a small percentage of the people speak Filipino as their first language.
