Homophones and homonyms are not considered language techniques. They refer to words that sound alike but have different meanings (homophones) or words that are spelled the same but have different meanings (homonyms). These are more characteristics of language rather than deliberate techniques used in writing or speech.

What is the most common language spoken worldwide?

English! Although 1.2 billion people speak Chinese worldwide, English is most common. Actually, it depends on where you draw the line. How well do you have to know a language to be considered to speak it? I can say a few things in Japanese, but I'm not good enough to be counted as a "Japanese speaker." A lot of people speak English well enough to do business with American tourists, or to read a technical article, or to place an order with a company in another country where they don't speak the same language, but both know enough English to mostly understand each other. But that's not the same as fluency. So depending what your standards are, the answer could be either Mandarin Chinese, or English (if you include broken English).

Why do the French people not like the English language?

The French and the English languages may share some common vocabulary. But they basically are very different languages. For example, French belongs to the Romance language family that descends from the ancient interaction of ancient, classical Latin with the ancient native languages of the areas under Roman rule. English belongs to the Germanic language family through its descent from the ancient Angles and Saxons of ancient Britain. Something that is uncomfortable for French speakers is the way that English speakers divide their syllables. In French, a syllable tends to end in a vowel. In English, it may end in a consonant or a vowel. Those who know correct, educated standard French have little problems with spelling. But English spelling and pronunciation can't be counted on to overlap or reinforce each other. The written French language has an organized approach to prepositions. English is chaotic, spontaneous, and unpredictable in its interaction with them.
