In selected countries, the percent of the population that speaks each language is also given. The table below lists the official language of each country, if there is one, as well as other languages spoken. The list presented here comes from the CIA World Factbook, a widely recognized source of data on countries around the globe.
We also offer a bit more context there on different language families, and how we distinguish between languages. This also isn't comprehensive with bilingual speakers or speakers of endangered languages, or speakers of relatively new languages like Esperanto that aren't the main languages of any community.īe sure to check out our list of the most popular languages of the world to see which language has the most native speakers (hint: it's Mandarin Chinese) out of the world's population. There are also many different writing systems, although we don't cover those here. Ethnologue, the biggest authority on languages on the web, estimates that there are over 7,000 spoken languages in the world.
