The table illustrates the data of native speakers among six languages as well as the

number

of speakers as an additional

language

. Overall, the statistic of speakers of Mandarin Chinese is dramatically larger than the others. It is indicated that there are 900

million

people who speak Mandarin and consider it as a

first

language

.

In contrast

, there are only 190

million

speakers who speak as an additional

language

. What is remarkable about English speakers is that the

number

of speakers as an additional

language

is greater than the

number

native ones which account for 603

million

and 339

million

respectively. It is demonstrated that the total

number

of Hindi speakers is approximately equal to that of Spanish speakers (490

million

and 420

million

respectively).

However

, the

number

of speakers who speak these languages and have seen that as a

second

language

is slightly different. The

number

of Spanish speakers (70

million

) is

fewer

less

than that of Hindi speakers (120

million

).

Last

but not least, concerning with Arabic and Portuguese, the

number

of native speakers of these two languages is similar that with 206

million

and 203

million

respectively.

Nevertheless

, the

number

of Arabic speakers as an additional

language

is almost 2.5 times higher than that of Portuguese speakers. In conclusion, the
