- tokenadult 14y agoSpanish: It's the second most spoken language in the world. [citation needed] Possibly so by number of different countries where it is official or co-official, but certainly not so by number of speakers. Weighting aggregate number of speakers by the economic activity of the countries where those speakers predominate may be a better gauge of which languages are expedient to learn in the next few years.
