National language refers to the mother tongue of your country or the one proclaimed by your country's law. Second language is a language which is next to your mother tongue in functionality. It is usually promulgated by your country's education law which promotes the use of it in education, society, and in business. A country can have one national language and many other languages as secondary languages.
