People often wonder how many French speakers there are, but a definitive answer is not easy to find. In 1999, French was the 11th most common first language in the world, with 77 million first language speakers and another 51 million second language speakers, according to the Ethnologue Report. (1) French is the second most commonly-taught second language in the world (after English).
Another source, La Francophonie dans le monde 2006-2007(2), looks at it differently:
- 128 million Francophones: speak French (as a native or adopted language) fluently and use it on a regular basis.
- 72 million "partiel" Francophones: live in a francophone country but do not speak French regularly, due to limited knowledge.
- 100-110 million students of all ages: do not live in a francophone country, but have learned/are learning French in order to communicate with Francophones.

Je m'ennuie vraiment sur vous?
In English "je m'ennuie vraiment sur vous" actually means "I really am bored on you", which doesn't really make sense.
Perhaps the correct sentence should be:
"Je m'ennuie vraiment avec vous" ==> "I really get bored (when I am) with you"
Or, closer to the initial sentence:
"je m'ennuie vraiment sans vous" ==> ("I really am/get bored without you ("formal You" or "you guys"))
