First place and first language
There are over one hundred and ninety countries in the world
and about seven thousand languages. In first place is China.
There are over one billion speakers of Mandarin Chinese.
second place is India with speakers of Hindi. And in third
is Spanish. Spain isnt a big country, but there are over four
hundred million Spanish speakers in difrerent countries around
the world. This is very true in Latin America.
English as a global lanEuage
As a first language, English is in fourth place. About three
hundred and eighq, million people are native English speakers.
But English is in first place as a second language for many
other people. Over a billion people speak English for doing
business, reading the news or studying science and medicine.
In some countries, trnglish is not the native language, but it is
the oficial language for the government and in schools. And
even in London, the capital city of Britain, there are over three
hundred difrerent languages.

The other 6,996 languages
Chinese, Hindi, Spanish and English are the'big'
languages. About eighry per cent of the world's
In population speak them. But these are only four
place languages, so what about the other 6,996languages?
Many countries have lots of different languages. For
example, on the islands of Vanuatu in the South Pacific
Ocean there are slxty-five different islands and they
have one hundred and nine dillerent languages.
The last speakers
Fina11y, there are some languages with only one speaker.
They are old people and they speak the language of
their parents and grandparents. For example, Charlie
Muldunga lives in Australia. He speaks English because
it is the first language of the country. However, his
native language is Amurdag. It's an ancient language
and he is the last speaker of this Aboriginal language.
