Lenguas
Vía Kirai (a su vez vía ethnologue) me encuentro con una lista de los idiomas más hablados por número de hablantes que lo tienen como primera lengua.

| 2 | Spanish | Indo-European | 332,000,000 | Latin America, Spain |
| 3 | English | Indo-European | 322,000,000 | North America, U.K., Australia |

Supongo que el inglés estaría primero si se contabilizara el número de personas que la hablan como segunda lengua.
