I'm sure more people worldwide know English than Spanish. |

Date: September 4th, 2017 3:41 AM Author: Fiercely-loyal comical sanctuary it probably turns on how you count the 100s of million Indians who sorta kinda speak English mixed with Hindi at home (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3720880&forum_id=2#34133776) |

Date: September 4th, 2017 3:41 AM Author: Translucent frisky range boltzmann i am talking about primary language here, buddy.
clearly, English is the most spoken language in the world. i mean, a bunch of indians must learn english so that they can scam us. |

Date: September 4th, 2017 3:44 AM Author: Abnormal bistre laser beams Well then this doesn't surprise me, but I'd bet it's very very close.
Spain + Latin America + South America - Brazil... can't be much more than..
UK + US + Canada + South Africa + Australia.. |

Date: September 4th, 2017 3:50 AM Author: Fiercely-loyal comical sanctuary I count the 5 Eyes countries at 450 million. Add some Anglophone South Africans, Singaporeans, Irish, and similar and I think you get to maybe 465 million. It then depends entirely on what you do with Indians, do you count maybe 10 million who are true English speakers at home, or do you add 100s of millions who speak fluent English but still speak Hindi or whatever in the family kitchen.

Date: September 4th, 2017 3:55 AM Author: Abnormal bistre laser beams ok and on the spanish side? Aside from Mexico are there even any 100+ million population countries? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3720880&forum_id=2#34133800) |
|
Date: September 4th, 2017 4:07 AM Author: Fiercely-loyal comical sanctuary I don't think any other 100+ million countries, it's just that there are 20-something smaller countries
wikipedia puts native Spanish speakers (as opposed to speakers "with native proficiency", which would include non-native speakers) at 437m, a little less than my count for native English speakers
if you expand the count to "speakers with native proficiency" then English includes half of India and big chunks of Africa so you get way way more English than Spanish speakers |

Date: September 4th, 2017 4:12 AM Author: Fiercely-loyal comical sanctuary by my count yes
but maybe it's one of this little myths that Spanish speakers like to spread to make themselves feel better, you know kind of a pissing contest that matters a lot to their tpds and doesn't matter to anybody else, the same way that mainland china is always trying to have laughable little pissing contests and propaganda efforts for "national pride" or "face" or something
tldr they care a lot, we don't care at all |
