As a student of language, I'm not sure which statistics in the graphic below are the most amazing... (See all 4 charts.)
1. Chinese as a larger language group than the next three largest ones combined.
2. English having nearly 20 times the number of language LEARNERS as any other language.
3. India for having 5.5 of the most widely spoken languages in the world.
4. America for having the fourth highest number of living languages in the world - still a nation whose strength is her immigrants.

I also didn't realize that Spanish was the second largest natively spoken languge in the world.
