in terms of knowing that it is a country rather than the centre of the universe, england is far better than the states
the americans dont even know they speak english as their primary language. the english have to compromise the fact they are right next to all these places that dont speak english.
australia seems to have taken the american attitude as well, but with the demise of american influence- hopefully knowledge that english is not the universal language will strengthen

That's one thing I find interesting. Why did English become the 'international language'. Is it purely because of the states. I know French is also considered an international language but at the end of the day I'd still say English is more prominent. Spanish got dudded as well.
This is only from the Wikipedia page, but still.
By 1922, the British Empire held sway over a population of about 458 million people, one-quarter of the world's population at the time,[1] and covered more than 13,000,000 square miles (33,670,000 km2): approximately a quarter of the Earth's total land area
in terms of quantity theres a billion people who speak chinese
also if the americans venture a little bit southwards they dont speak english anymore
One 6th of the worlds population is Chinese, and they're all located in the one country
Of course it is

This. WTF? Is Turkey considered part of Europe is the question.
Spanish would be top 5. Mandarin, English, Spanish, Arabic and Hindi. French would be around the top 20.
