Native Speakers: Spanish (1st= Mandarin)

Total Speakers: Mandarin (1st= English)

Most Widely Spoken: Spanish (1st= English)
2nd most spoken language is Mandarin. (English being first.)
Generally speaking, English is often found as a nation's second language. One reason for this was the large number of present day nations that were colonized by Great Britain. Another thought on this was at one period of time, French was known as the language of international diplomacy. The downfall of Napoleon, and the continuing influence of the British Empire, made English the generally accepted replacement in diplomatic communications. Another factor is that in the airline industry, English is the language used for air controller - pilot communications.
