Top World Languages

We have a list of the top 52 world languages by estimated number of native speakers. How many can you guess?

According to Ethnologue (2019) via Wikipedia. I made some common sense modifications.

Chinese and Hindustani languages need to be guessed separately

Common sense modifications include grouping the various dialects of Arabic together and grouping Bavarian with German.

Level 78

Oct 25, 2014

Pashto .. I tried typing that! Pashtu, Pastu, Pashu... I learned it with an "u". Also Azerbaijani is one I guessed that didn't get accepted (didn't add the i at the end). Other than that I missed 5 I've heard about and remember by name and 23 that I probably would never have guessed..

Level 31

Oct 20, 2015

Pashtun should be accepted

Level 33

Sep 15, 2016

Not Pashtun: that's the people, not the language. But you can't write Pashtun without first writing Pashtu...

Level 68

Sep 15, 2016

I couldn't think of Pashto so tried Afghani just for fun and it accepted it!

I got 38. Among the ones that I missed, I hadn't heard of 12 of them before.

Sep 15, 2016

Well, one's responsible for recreating dinosaurs on an island off the coast of Costa Rica, and the other one's the archnemesis of Iron Man.

Level 58

Sep 5, 2023

One is Wu and one is Mandarin

Level 44

Nov 10, 2015

Sundanese????

Level 83

Sep 15, 2016

Spoken in western Java. It is the language of Sunda, which refers to a geographical region of SE Asia centred on the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra.

Level 56

Nov 17, 2015

I tried "Cambodian" and didn't get anything. But if I'd tried typing "Laotian" I'd have got it after three letters!

Level 63

Jan 27, 2016

There's no such language as "Laotian". It's just "Lao". Chinese should not be accepted for Madarin as stated in the "rules".

Dec 24, 2015

Great quiz! So nice to see all 4 languages that I speak in this list!

Level 38

Jan 21, 2016

I thought english would be second and spanish would be first

Level 83

Aug 8, 2016

Well the combined populations of all the primarily English and Spanish-speaking countries comes to about 800 million. China has almost 1.4 billion. It's pretty easy to see how Mandarin would come out on top.

Level 38

Jan 21, 2016

I thought swedish would be here

Level 83

Sep 15, 2016

There are fewer than 10 million people in Sweden and though there are Swedish speakers in Norway and Finland, There's definitely not another 10 million of them.

Level 83

Sep 15, 2016

In fairness the continental Scandinavian languages are mutually intelligible and should probably be considered dialects of a single language (especially when you hear the entirely separate Mandarin and Cantonese deemed 'dialects' of Chinese). If they were so considered, they would knock Serbo-Croatian off this list.

Level 88

Dec 29, 2019

Swedish sounds very different from the others. You could learn to read the other Scandinavian languages quite easily as a native speaker of one or German, but you'd make a lot of mistakes on uneducated assumption.

Based on latest polls for US election, about 100 million people speak Rubbish.

Level 45

Sep 18, 2016

Seriously? No American poll would call it "rubbish" that's a British thing

Level 74

Jan 12, 2023

And we wouldn't toss rubbish into the bin. Trash goes in a can or a dumpster. I believe "Dumpster" is actually a trademarked term, but it's becoming generic, kind of like 'aspirin'.

Level 43

Oct 27, 2016

I'm surprised that kiswahili/swahili did not make it on this list

Level 62

Feb 5, 2017

Me too. It's often used as a lingua franca in eastern Africa. But since decolonization it's also being taught as a first languages in schools in several countries.

But I guess that when it comes to African languages, these always seem to be neglected or forgotten.

Level 71

Jul 15, 2018

Same, I looked it up on Wikipedia and apparently there are only 10 to 15 million native speakers. I'm guessing most people who speak Swahili speak it as a second language.

Level 19

Swiss is a language: Its called Swiss-German there is also Austro-German.

hallelujah! bounties never cease! a heretofore unnoticed personal attack by our enlightened savior diva. will I never stop finding new comments from this guy attacking me over his ridiculous obsessive vendetta he developed against me? (which he will, years of this ongoing behavior later, deny ever having. If he sees this response he's probably going to pipe in by saying that he wasn't talking about me and asking why I'm so paranoid, even though he calls me out by name here.)

aside: if anyone wants to see the 130 or so countries I have never set foot in before there's a map in my profile now.

Level 47

Jun 14, 2021

His name Divan means sofa

Level 71

May 16, 2017

Swahili should definitely be on the list

Level 67

Aug 9, 2017

Swahili has over 130 million speakers, but only 5 million are native speakers. Not enough to make the list.

Level 39

Jul 31, 2019

Having lived in East Africa I can assure you there are definitely far more than 5 million native speakers of Swahili. I'm not sure what Wikipedia says that number is but it's certainly higher than some of the languages listed on this quiz.

Level 59

Dec 3, 2019

@bpp309 - you might have lived in East Africa, but I doubt you've met enough people to have been able to count all the native speakers!

Awadhi is not a language, it is a dialect spoken in central Uttar Pradesh(state in India).

I suppose it rather depends on how one defines "dialect".

Filipinos are already 100,000,000+. How come the number of Tagalog speakers are only 28, 000,000 and Cebuano speakers are only 21, 000,000? This quiz isn't accurate at all.

For all the people who thought that American is a language, the same as Australian, it is just English which has different words with the same meaning. For example, rubbish is trash/garbage in America.

Aren't Bhojpuri and Awadhi dialects of Hindi??

That's not a spelling that ever appears in English. If your first attempt didn't work, it doesn't take much effort to try something very similar.

Level 90

Feb 12, 2019

How is it that I always forget Bhojpuri! :) I mean really, what the heck? Half of these have 0% of familiarity with me. Never seen them before in my life. And to think, over a half a percent of the world's population speaks Kannada natively and they probably don't even live in Canada!

Level 55

Jun 20, 2020

Kannada is an Indian language spoken in the Karnataka state of India. It has nothing to do with Canada which lies thousands of kms away.

Level 83

Jul 7, 2019

Because it's not a correct answer.

It's Sundanese

Sudanese would refer to a person from Sudan, which does speak predominantly Arabic or others but which do not reflect the name Sudan.

Dec 28, 2019

No it shouldn't. Very few people speak it as a first language.

Level 75

Dec 28, 2019

Why does German need the qualifier "inc. Bavarian"? There's no dispute at all over whether Bavarian is a German language or not. It's not even one of the varieties that differ from Standard German the most, like some High/Highest Alemannic or Low Saxon varieties. And those seem to be counted.

Level 67

Sep 21, 2020

Had to scroll all the way down to find this comment I was looking for! I have to assume it's some sort of private or inside joke? I mean, it sure made me giggle, but I agree that it's weird.

Level 57

Sep 6, 2023

Probably something to do with ISO codes and Ethnologue which put them seperately

Level 75

Dec 29, 2019

What are the "common sense modifications" you've made, that you describe in the instructions?

Level ∞

Dec 29, 2019

Combining the various dialects of Arabic into one, as well as East and West Punjabi.

Level 67

Dec 29, 2019

There can't be so few Thai speakers, 20.7m?

Level ∞

Dec 30, 2019

I'm a little confused by that too. If someone wants to dig into the source data, perhaps this can be explained. For some reason, with Ethnologue's latest update, a few languages were splintered. For example, the various dialects of Arabic were separated and I had to combine them. Similarly, Bavarian was listed as different than German. Perhaps some variant of Thai was broken off as well, but the Wikipedia list doesn't show enough languages to find this out.

Level 82

Dec 30, 2019

Looks like there are transcription errors on the Wikipedia article as compared with the underlying source data (https://www.ethnologue.com/guides/ethnologue200). Some of the totals are way off, including Thai (as noted above). The actual list should begin: #1 English (1,132M), #2 Mandarin (1,117M), #3 Hindi (614M), #4 Arabic (593M combined), #5 Spanish (534M). The full list of the the top 75 from the Ethnologue data, with the same combinations/groupings as on this quiz, is here: https://pastebin.com/WgPqYwFZ

Level ∞

Dec 30, 2019

Those numbers clearly include level 2 speakers.

Level 82

Dec 30, 2019

Right. I'm not making a normative point about what the list and speaker totals should be. I'm simply saying that the Wikipedia page purports to cite Ethnologue but at least some of the figures are wrong -- e.g., the entries for Japanese, Western Punjabi, and Korean are the same as the overall Ethnologue totals that as you point out include L1 and L2. I now see that another Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_languages_by_total_number_of_speakers) does claim to include the L1/L2 breakdown, but there, too, it's evident that there are problems with the data. Maybe that page is at least a better source to link to given the greater transparency about what's actually reported in Ethnologue? It's a tricky topic, for sure.

Level ∞

Jan 9, 2020

Much of the Ethnologue data is hidden behind a pay wall. Someone at Wikipedia was able to get at it and put it on Wikipedia but we don't have access to it unfortunately. That said, the numbers on Wikipedia appear to be accurate.

Level 63

Jan 5, 2020

Does Afrikaans really not have more people who speak it than over 20 million people?

Level ∞

Jan 9, 2020

Afrikaans has only about 7 million L1 speakers.

Level 66

Jan 9, 2020

I'm confused. According to this quiz only 1/3 Thais are native Thai speakers? Seems very unlikely to me.

Level ∞

Jan 9, 2020

I was confused as well. But looking into it a little more, I can see where they got their numbers. Apparently, the official language of Thailand is actually "Central Thai" which is only spoken natively in the central part of Thailand, with various other languages spoken in other parts.

Level ∞

Jan 9, 2020

If you know about the history of language, this isn't surprising. For example, what we think of today is French was really only spoken in the area around Paris prior to the French revolution. Other people spoke the languages of their own region such as Breton, Alsatian, and of course Occitan. It took two centuries of coercion by the central government before French became the native tongue of nearly everyone in the country.

Level 80

Feb 6, 2020

Wikipedia lists Northern Thai (6 million) and Southern Thai (4.5 million) as different languages. In addition there's Isan language with 20 million speakers in Thailand, apparently. Not sure if there are any other sources that agree with this than Ethnologue (which seems like the main source of Wikipedia's speaker data).

Level 70

Jan 26, 2020

German (inc. Bavarian) - lmao. (Bavarian is just a dialect of German - so is Swiss German)

Level 78

Jan 28, 2020

Reads like English (incl. Texan)

Level 64

Jan 27, 2020

Shouldn't Bengali and Portuguese be switched?

Level 75

Jan 28, 2020

I'm surprised Kurdish isn't on the list, as it has at least 30 million speakers.

Level 61

Jan 28, 2020

"Including Bavarian" in the German language is completely unneccessary. Bavarian is just a dialect, so as swabian, hessian, saxonian etc.

Level ∞

Jan 28, 2020

I don't understand your comment. The source separated the two. I put them back together. Since you agree with me that Bavarian is a dialect, not a language, then my decision to combine Bavarian and German was not unnecessary.

Level 78

Jan 28, 2020

I think what Tante means is that even mentioning Bavarian seems ridiculous, as no one considers it to be separate from German. (However, looking at the source, linguists seem to differ. That's news to me.)

Level 81

Jan 28, 2020

I saw the caveat at the top but still, literally all of the ones i missed were of those two

Level 38

Jan 29, 2020

379 million speak English native?

That's wrong population of the US is 320 million

Population of UK is 65 million

Population of Canada is 35 million

Population of Australia is 23 million

Population of New Zealand is 8 million

Population of Ireland is 5 million

Should be 456 million native English speakers

Level 83

Jan 29, 2020

not everyone in those countries are native speakers of English.

Level 71

Mar 7, 2020

Then a percentage of every countries population should be subtracted from the native language numbers. e.g. Not everyone in India speaks Hindi in the Hindi areas or Urdu in the Urdu areas, or Gujarati in the Gujarati areas etc. etc...... you should only use populations for countries, not try and estimate how many are not native speakers with certain countries but not others.

Level 65

Jan 9, 2023

I don't think the quiz numbers are based on this estimation.

Bavarian is not a language of its own, it's only a dialect. Either take em all (Frisian, Alemann, Cologne-ian, Rhine-ian, Saxonian etc pp) or leave em all...

How does jetpunk define a native speaker? Does it include people who speak a second or third language fluently, or only those born to it?

Igbo, Sudanese, Uzbek and Amharic I refuse to believe are more spoken than Swahili. There are roughly 71-135 million Swahili speakers, it is approximately the 13th most spoken language in the world.

It's native speakers and Swahili is more of a lingua franca. And also it's Sundanese, completely different.
