    • Bob, that's got to be wrong. English 341,000,000? When its the (or an) official language in 53 countries? America alone is 300,000,000, with 52 countries to go. English is one of two official languages in India, population 1,000,000,000.
      And international air travel in all countries worldwide is done in English.
      .
      But what do you mean by "most common"?
      Most native speakers?
      Most people who speak it?
      Official in the most countries?
      Spoken by large numbers of people in the most countries?
      .
      Like slothmister, I'd like to know your source.
      Oh, death and woe! I just noticed the date.
      Never mind.
