This would depend on what one means by "Speak English." Certainly many Chinese and Indians study English and by pure population advantage should have more "speakers," but this "speaking" is often quite limited in scope and certainly could never be considered fluent. To use the definition of "English" and fluent loosely, there is no country with more fluent English speakers than the US. Here's a list from Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_English-speaking_population>
India has the largest English-speaking population in the world, with an estimated 125 million English speakers. This surpasses the United States, which has around 300 million English speakers.
If you are talking about native speakers, English and Spanish are about tied. If you are talking about total speakers, then English has the most.
No, there are more English speakers in Canada than Spanish speakers in the US. English is one of the official languages of Canada and is spoken by the majority of the population. While Spanish is widely spoken in the US, it is not the most prevalent language.
English is more widely spoken as a first language, with approximately 360 million native speakers. However, Spanish is more widely spoken overall, including second language speakers, with around 460 million speakers worldwide.
The U.S. has about 300 Million English Speakers, but only about 25 million Spanish speakers, so it will be a very long time. In fact, it's unlikely to happen, since the children of Spanish speaking immigrants learn English in public schools.
none India is the 2nd country with the most English speakers, about 110,000,000, the US is the most with about 305,000,000 speakers.
No. Even if you include people who speak English as a second language, there are more English speakers in the U.S.

Yes, there are more non-native English speakers than native speakers. Estimates suggest that there are around 1.5 billion non-native speakers compared to approximately 370 million native speakers. The widespread use of English as a global lingua franca in business, education, and media contributes to this disparity.
The U.S. has about 300 Million English Speakers, but only about 25 million Spanish speakers, so it will be a very long time. In fact, it's unlikely to happen, since the children of Spanish speaking immigrants learn English in public schools.
English is one of the official languages of India, spoken well by more than 100 million people.There are more speakers of Indian English than British English.
The United States has about 280 million native speakers of English; India has about 300 million speakers of English as a second language. Exact numbers are difficult to produce for this, but China is estimated to be equal or ahead of India in this numbers game. For sure, by looking at rate of increase and number of learners, in a year or two, China will definitely have more English speakers than any other country. Of course, nearly all will be as second language.
It depends on what you mean by top 50. If you are talking about the number of speakers, then many languages in this group are spoken in more than one country, including: English Spanish German French Hindi-Urdu Mandarin Portuguese
There is no evidence to suggest that women are inherently better English speakers than men. Proficiency in a language depends on individual factors such as education, exposure, and practice, rather than gender. Both men and women are capable of being skilled English speakers.
