Most Widely Spoken Languages in the World

When first viewing this infographic you can easily mistake it for a busy subway map. I’m sure that was the intent and it works well. It reminds me when I was using the mass transit system in both Washington D.C. and New York City. And those are two of the most multi-cultural destinations in the United States and it was the norm to hear multiple languages being spoken in the cities and in the subways.

This subway map style is a great communication device, in my estimation, for the showing the many languages this infographic represents.

    Am surprised that Singapore features as a stop for both Arabic and Hindi.

    FYI. Arabic is generally only learnt by Malay Muslims as part of their Quranic studies. While most south asians in Singapore speak Tamil instead of Hindi. My estimate for a total of both would amount to not more than 10% of the population.
