I would put Chinese higher on the list. |

I just don't like it because of the way native tongued Germans laugh. I don't know how to describe it. I guess that is a crappy reason not to like a language, but it is that way and I can't change my sturdiness. |

Just how wide-spread is Cantonese? There's Hong-Kong Cantonese, and then what else? |

I guess the chinese thing isn't that suprising. |

Hmm, interesting. I forgot about Arabic, and I'm surprised French isn't in that list. France by itself has a population of 60 million, and there are several countries in Africa where French would be most people's first language. |

For french don't forget about the damn conuuks from Quebec. |

The six official languages of the United Nations are Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian, and Spanish; so I would say that those are the most important. If you knew all six, chances are you would be able to communicate with just about anyone you met in the entire world (barring some backwoods primitives) |

I agree with Xagaria except I would replace French with Japanese, I think the only reason Japanese isnt in there is because of how the united nations was made after WW2. |

FUCK assembly. |

I don't think that's possible. |

No. |
