English is the third (3rd) most spoken language in the world. however due to population and numbers, Chinese and Spanish is the first and second most spoken languages in the world respectively.
For educated class, English is the most preferred language both spoken and for correspondence. But according to my observation for Pakistani and Indians, Urdu is the preferred language while travelling in other countries because there are a lot of Pakistani Indian migrants settled there.
If it refers to native speaker , Mandarin Chinese should be the top one. And English is the widely used language and official language for most countries.
My guess would have been Spanish. I Googled it and this is what came up.
Mandarin Chinese tops the list of most popular world languages, with nearly two billion speakers. English trails in third place, with 335 million speakers. This data includes all speakers of the languages, not only native speakers.

English is only the third most spoken (by native speakers) - both Mandarin and Spanish have more.

Mandarin Chinese is the most spoken language in the world. However, when you consider language spoken according to countries, English is the lead.
If Nigeria had not been colonized by Britain, would we be speaking English?
Is colonization of Nigeria and other countries right and legal?
