Yes. Even though the total native speakers of both those languages added together don't equal the number of native speakers of Mandarin Chinese, they are the second and third most-spoken languages in the world as a first language. This isn't even taking into account the number of second-language speakers (that's about 900 million, again, both languages taken together).
