Geographical distribution of languages worldwide

vgwortEnglish is spoken in England. German in Germany. But how far is which language actually spread?

Actually, English and French are often considered "world languages" in the Western world. Due to the high population figures in China and India, the national languages there are instead by far the most frequently spoken mother tongues in the world.
