If you say most spoken โNativeโ language in Europe, yes, but most spoken language in Europe is English. Even Russians speak English. How many English speakers speak Russian Language? |

philiancoop:English is the defacto second language in Europe outside UK and Ireland. In fact in countries like Norway, Sweden and The Netherlands, it's slowly competing seriously with the native language. Russian has more speakers than what's posted there, however after English it's the 2nd defacto language especially in Eastern Europe. |
| Re: Most Spoken Native Languages In Europe (Photos) by AwkaFinest: 8:38pm On Feb 20 |
Toneyo:Yes this is most spoken native language. If you want the most spoken language, the it will be English, Russian, German, French in that order. |

IMPARTIAL:This is wrong. How many people speak English as a native language in Europe outside the British Isle? Russian is spoken not just in Russia as a native language, but in former USSR countries. |

franchasng:Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Armenia etc, All these counties have native Russian speakers. English only has England, Wales, Scotland, N. Ireland and Ireland with native speakers of English. French is just in France, Belgium Switzerlsnd and Andorra. That's where you'll find native speakers. German has Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and parts of Poland. Don't forget the German influence in science and engineering that made many eastern Europeans to start learning German as a second Language in the 90s. |

franchasng:What's wrong there? We are talking about native speakers here Do you even understand what is meant by native speakers? How many people in Europe are English? How many people in Europe are Russians? What's their population like? Do the math before you start running your mouth |

descarado:Ok fine, let's do the maths by population English speaking countries assuming all their citizens speak English UK over 70 million Nigeria over 250 million USA over 340 million Canada over 42 million Australia over 27 million New Zealand over 5.4 million South Africa over 64 million Kenya over 56 million Zimbabwe, Zambia, namibia and their likes that speak English in their countries over 200 million. Put all that together e never still reach one billion (I.e assuming everyone in those countries speak English oooo) Then mandarin in only china 1.5 billion people Which one big pass? It's just a simple maths up there. I just wanna make common sense |

CaseSensitive:The Scandinavian countries of Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and even the Netherlands on Continent Europe speak very fluent English. The Scandinavians have ancestral ties with several parts of the United Kingdom haven carried out several raids on villages for plunder and settled as Danish and/or Norwegian Vikings on the British Isles many centuries back and they fathered children who had blonde hairs like them. So, this ancestral link definitely spurred the Scandinavians to learn to speak fluent English in their homelands as well as their individual or native languages. |
| Re: Most Spoken Native Languages In Europe (Photos) by CaseSensitive(m): 9:41pm On Feb 20 |
AlphaTaikun:This is why reading and comprehension is an underrated skill. Modern Scandinavians speak English fluently mainly because itโs taught from a young age in schools and widely used in media, not due to ancestry from the British Isles. Distinction here is "NATIVE". Scandinavians/Nordic don't speak English natively. They speak Danish, Swedish, Finnish or Norwegian or Icelandic. |

philiancoop:The question was asked wrong. The right question is what's the most widely spoken language in Europe. And the answer to that is English, just like in the rest of the world. English is the most important language in the world. It's so interesting that even major countries like Germany, Russia, and China have universities where all the courses are taught in English. Answer to your Europe widely spoken language: English (Total): While native speakers are around 67 million, it's the most widely understood, with ~200 million total speakers including second-language users.[color=#006600][/color] |

franchasng:But "some village rats in one hole" doesn't know that Norwegian and Finnish people speak Norwegian and Finnish language natively, they don't speak English as their mother tongue. They learn English as a 2nd language in school or EC classes. It's similar to how English is widely spoken in Nigeria but English is not native language in Nigeria. Native language = Mother tongue. English Comprehension 101. |

CaseSensitive:Learn to make your points without sounding cocky or making knee-jerk responses to people's posts without comprehending what is being ORIGINALLY conveyed! Your first sentence was totally needless and you aren't talking to an uneducated or semi-literate person here. I grew up reading massive volumes of encyclopedia in my family home library from several decades ago (over 5 decades ago) and I know full well the meaning of "NATIVE." You made some valid points in your first post and even this post that I'm responding to and I merely chipped in some historical FACTS or insights about the Scandinavian relationship with the British Isle to make the subject matter wider. Period. |

PlayerMeji:Arabs don't go to England to go and live but just for pleasure. Perhaps you are alluding to the growing numbers of Muslims in England/UK generally. They are mostly from Indian, Pakistan, Bangladesh and lately Afghanistan. Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Paashto and Dari is more likely to be spoken in England than Arabic. |
| Re: Most Spoken Native Languages In Europe (Photos) by CaseSensitive(m): 10:08pm On Feb 20 |
AlphaTaikun:I mean I appreciate the historical context you threw on it, no doubt the Viking connections are fascinating. But when we talk about a โnativeโ language, we mean mother tongue. Iโm sure your decades of encyclopedias would agree that facts and definitions matter as much as historical anecdotes. |
