That relies on what you imply with "most important". If you discuss with essentially the most spoken one (via quantity of habitants), Mandarin Chinese is via some distance the correct reply. If you discuss with essentially the most spreaded one (spoken within the greatest quantity of areas and/or international locations), Spanish is the correct one. If you discuss with essentially the most used one (spoken regardless of if it is a nation professional language), English is the correct one.

first of all, it's 'whole' not 'hole', secondly, u can probably look that up on google or something. but it's probably just going to give u an estimate, because there are indigenous tribes with their own languages on those smaller islands that researchers might not have taken into account.
