![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Which fake website did you get this statistics from. English is the most widely spoken language in the World. Nigeria alone accounts for almost 200 million English speakers, not to talk of India (2nd most populated country on Earth), USA, and all the Commom Wealth countries which make up nearly half of the World's population. Ask yourself why home appliances, Electronics, Vehicles and other heavy duty construction equipments have English as the first language on their manuals even when produced in China or Germany. The Chinese have learnt to speak English by necessity. Go on Tiktok and see most Chinese speaking English fluently. Britain conquered over half of the World through colonisation |
