What are official language of the world Is there any organization that regconize English as a global language?

Since no organization can claim to represent the whole world, there is no "official" language for the world. The closest such organization would be the United Nations, which uses six official languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, French, and Russian. The use of languages by international organizations is usually related to the number of speakers rather than any "official" status. This is why, for example, English and Spanish have become defacto global standards. English is clearly a global language, but this is merely a measure of its widespread use, not of any official recognition.
