Languages with More Than 2,000,000 Speakers
Extracted from Wikipedia, this list contains only those languages having more than two million speakers, in descending order (most to least number of speakers). Mandarin Chinese has over 800 million speakers; Spanish and English follow, each having roughly 350 million native speakers. This list does not correlate to languages used on the Internet, where English dominates, according to Wikipedia.
There are still hundreds of languages spoken around the world, not listed here. Type the name of a language in the text box below to see if it’s in the list.
This list uses Justin Donato’s MTMultiSelect widget, which itself uses the MooTools library to create a paginated, filterable multi-selector.
