English is the language of business and politics, but only 4th on the number of native speakers worldwide. Chinese, Hindi, and Spanish are all the native spoken language of more people around the world, in that order. The number of people who study Spanish as a second language make it the second most common language, however.

I think Chinese (including all dialects) is the most spoken language in the world. While Spanish is the second most spoken language.
However English is the most widely spoken language in the world. And English also language of Internet too.
