I think english is easier then each others.I like learn it very much.

DUH

I've seen that's the most easy language :)

and you know, WHERE is the most Rich people, or the Country? USA ,i guess…oh :D in fact i dont mind why, but i mind to use it ^^

coz the central of the world is the super power US.. :D

if we want to success.. it's impossible if we stuck in the edge.. :) we must go to the center.. is it right?

because America and Britain is the most great country in the world therefore all the word must learn English language

A very interesting topic indeed.

In terms of the number of countries where it's spoken (either as primary or secondary language), English is the most widely used language.   It must have all started with the British colonies and most specifically, the biggest colony of the British Empire, which later on turned into the United States of America and their increasing economical and cultural influence after World War Two.

This must be one reason why it has established itself as an international language of communication and international relations, as well as technology and entertainment.

For the most curious here is a comparison table of most spoken languages, countries they're spoken in and total numbers of

speakers.

I completely agree with nad1a

I think the money is speaking. And it speaks English. When it will speak Chinese or Russian we will follow the fashion.

English is a Germanic Language of the Indo-European Family. It is the second most spoken language in the world.

It is estimated that there are 300 million native speakers and 300 million who use English as a second language and a further 100 million use it as a foreign language. It is the language of science, aviation, computing, diplomacy, and tourism. It is listed as the official or co-official language of over 45 countries and is spoken extensively in other countries where it has no official status. English plays a part in the cultural, political or economic life of the following countries. Majority English speaking populations are shown in bold.

This compares to 27 for French, 20 for Spanish and 17 for Arabic. This domination is unique in history. Speakers of languages like French, Spanish and Arabic may disagree, but English is on its way to becoming the world's unofficial international language. Mandarin (Chinese) is spoken by more people, but English is now the most widespread of the world's languages.

Half of all business deals are conducted in English. Two thirds of all scientific papers are written in English. Over 70% of all post / mail is written and addressed in English. Most international tourism, aviation and diplomacy is conducted in English.
