OK enough of this "my language is bigger than your language" nonsence.

I

refer all of you to the following web

site

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0775272.html

Which states the

10 most common languages as:

Chinese (Mandarin) 1075m
English

514m
Hindustani 496m
Spanish

425m
Russian 275m
Arabic

256m
Bengali 215m
Portuguese

194m
Malay-Indonesian 176m

I hope you all find what you are looking

for.

There are more spanish spoken people than english spoken people. The facts

shown on that link are base on demorgraphic or population area but not what real spoken

language people. By the way, My facts come from courses I took in USA such as minorities

courses (non considering as minority anymore) and Linguistic courses plus some more info

from some university proffesors

So Im not the one saying spanish spoken population

is bigger than english spoken population. USA professors with (not even mexican american)

phd are saying that...

If you are goin to take some webpage to backup your facts we

could go on and on. Such is theses one saying different things and stating different

facts:

http://www2.ignatius.edu/faculty/turner/languages.htm
wich made

a mambo jumbo analisis to state english
but you could read this

one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_language
which state that some

considering Spanish 4th place & english third but also state that other sources considering

Spanish 2nd or third behind Hindi
http://www.krysstal.com/spoken.html
you

could use that one too

As you could see on those page it would be difficult to

determine either english or spanish....As it was stated from college profesors. A big

majority of USA population speak spanish in some states and they dont even use english as

1st language but 2nd. Then your numbers will go way down.

As for Mandarin, no doubt

about it and I was the first to point out that. As for Hindi, well it goes up and down as

the others.

By the way, there are no bigger language than other. Each one has his own

culture involve so that is a wrong way to state more people speak one language than others

(doenst matter what point of view you were talking cause the sole use of the word "Bigger

than yours" has its intrisic connotations and no matter what you tried to mean with

it)

From just this last reply, I decided to not reply anymore on this issue because

the result would be obvious, a big flame war and we dont want that

here.

Sincerely,

RG

PS: I use the expresion "Bigger than" on

porpuse...the more appropiate expresion would be "larger than"

PS2: But if the person

from last reply (before this one) is from Asia, you right I wont argue with that

Playstation2 is better than Playstation1

Get

it?

lp lives and you all will get use to

it taxes every where

pay or die and a lott off funnnnnnnnnnn
